About this map

The Little Blackfoot River cuts through the center of this landscape, anchoring the settlements of Avon and Elliston. In the north, the Avon Valley transitions into the high elevations of the Boulder Mountains to the south. This mountain range dominates the lower half of the map, where the headwaters of Trout Creek and Spotted Dog Creek emerge from the steep slopes. The eastern edge includes protected land within the Helena National Forest.

Local landmarks such as the Avon Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research. The valley floor is defined by a network of drainage systems including Warm Spring Creek, Carpenter Creek, and Snowshoe Creek, illustrating how the early development of this region was dictated by the river and its many tributaries. The transition from valley ranching land to forested mountain terrain remains the defining characteristic of this Powell County corridor.
