About this map

The Avon Valley serves as a central corridor for this Powell County landscape, where the town of Avon sits at the confluence of the Little Blackfoot River and Trout Creek. This 2001 revision illustrates a complex water-and-land management system, characterized by numerous pipelines traversing the hills and a series of namesake waterways like Warm Spring Creek and Spotted Dog Creek.

Evidence of resource extraction is found at the Placer Mine and Gravel Pit, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the protected lands of the Helena National Forest. The presence of the small Pauly settlement and a local cemetery northwest of town provides valuable data for genealogists tracing family ties to this valley. The terrain is marked by distinct hydrology, including the Carpenter Tailings and the South Fork of Spotted Dog Creek, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to both its natural drainage and its history of land use.
