1966 Map of Avant

Industry and transport are woven into the terrain, from the quarries operating near the creek banks to the long pipelines and gaging stations monitoring the local waterways. Water remains the primary shaper of the geography here, with Candy Creek, Field Creek, and Quapaw Creek carving deep drainages. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of the Avant Cem and Lombard Cem, situated on high ground away from the floodplains.
