2018 Map of Avon

About this map

The Farmington River carves a central path through this Connecticut landscape, separating the residential expansions of Avon and Weatogue from the prominent heights of Metacomet Ridge. This modern survey reveals a dense network of suburban development intertwined with significant topographical barriers like Talcott Mtn and King Phillip Mtn. The river valley acts as a historical and geographical corridor, flanked by established settlements such as West Avon and Simsbury. Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Center Cem and Saint Ann Cem, which anchor the early community centers. Highlighting the intersection of natural conservation and modern living, the New England National Scenic Trail winds along the eastern ridgelines, overlooking water features like Hartford Reservoir Number 2 and the winding Nod Brook.
