About this map

Avon serves as the central hub of this Montana landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways including the Little Blackfoot River and Trout Creek. The settlement's infrastructure is clearly defined, from the Avon Post Office and Avon Vol Fire Dept to the nearby Echo Valley Campground. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition between its resource-extraction history and modern agricultural or recreational use, evidenced by the presence of the Buffalo Mine in the southeastern quadrant.

A complex network of drainage systems, such as Spotted Dog Creek and Snowshoe Creek, shapes the terrain. Notable landmarks for local history include the Avon Cemetery and the engineering of the Dog Creek Reservoir Dam. The movement of people and goods is mapped through established routes like Snowshoe Creek Rd and the crossing at the Little Blackfoot River Bridge, providing a clear look at the connectivity of this Powell County community.
