About this map

Avant sits at the northern edge of this Osage County landscape, where the waters of Bird Creek and Candy Cr converge. The town is structured around a small grid including Grand Ave and 2nd St, serving as a local hub near the Candy Lake Estate Airport. The surrounding terrain is deeply carved by the drainage networks of Quapaw Cr, Bull Creek, and Battle Cr, which create a complex system of ridges and valleys typical of the region's topography.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Avant Cem and Lombard Cem, while the southern portion of the sheet reveals the early northern expansion of Skiatook. This survey captures the transition from the concentrated settlement at Avant to the broader agricultural and watershed management areas like the Avant Water Supply Lake. The road network, including family-named routes like Forbes Rd and Phillips Rd, provides a clear view of the rural property divisions and local connectivity at this time.
