2015 Map of Avon

About this map

The Farmington River carves a central path through this modern survey of central Connecticut, separating the valley floor from the dramatic elevations of the Metacomet Ridge. To the west, the suburban character of Avon is well-established, with neighborhood clusters like Avon Park North and Old Avon Village showing the density of residential growth in the early 21st century. The map provides excellent detail for genealogists, recording several burial grounds including Bushy Hill Cem, Saint Ann Cem, and the Beth El Temple Cem. East of the river, the landscape rises sharply toward Talcott Mtn and King Phillip Mtn, where the New England National Scenic Trail traverses the ridgeline overlooking Hartford Reservoir Number 6. This juxtaposition of dense residential planning and conserved ridge lands highlights the region's commitment to preserving its prominent basalt traprock landmarks.
