About this map

The village of Avon sits at the intersection of several county lines in this detailed 2018 survey, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape where Fulton, Knox, and Warren counties meet. The settlement pattern follows the Fourth Principal Meridian, with a dense network of country roads such as E Shoe Fly Rd and N Twin Bridge Rd connecting isolated farmsteads and local landmarks. To the north, the community of St. Augustine is situated near the winding course of Cedar Creek, which drains much of the northern territory alongside Indian Cr and Paul Lake.

For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, identifying numerous burial sites that reflect the area's pioneer heritage, including Hunt Cem, Babbitt Cem, and Holeman Cem. The southern edge near the McDonough County line features the Old Prairie City Cem and Prairie City Cem, providing a clear record of early local cemeteries. Water features like Avondale Lake and Gallett Cr provide natural relief to the strictly gridded township and range system.
