2017 Map of Avon

About this map

Avon serves as the primary hub in this southern South Dakota landscape, situated at the intersection of a grid-work of rural roads and state highways. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Dry Choteau Cr, which forms the political boundary between Charles Mix and Bon Homme counties. This watercourse, along with Little Emanuel Cr and the waters of Meiers Lake, suggests a prairie environment shaped by seasonal drainage and agricultural irrigation. Local history is anchored by the Gramkow - Vesper Cem located to the northeast of the town center, while names like Stone Hse Rd and Jefferson Rd hint at the early infrastructure of Bon Homme County. The map captures the meticulous township and range system that organized the Great Plains into productive sections.
