2019 Map of Avon

About this map

The city of Avon serves as a northern anchor in this lake-studded landscape of central Stearns County. This modern survey illustrates the dense concentration of glacial basins, ranging from the interconnected Upper Spunk Lake, Middle Spunk Lake, and Lower Spunk Lake to the sprawling Big Fish Lake in the south. These water bodies, along with the N Fork Watab River and S Fork Watab River, have long shaped the region's recreation and settlement patterns. Further east, the campus of Saint Johns University sits adjacent to the shores of Sagatagan Lake, with the nearby Saint Johns Cemetery providing a significant point of interest for local historians and genealogists. The map also captures the residential expansion around Rockville and the intricate network of local drainage, such as County Ditch Number Twenty-five, which supports the agricultural lands interspersed between the numerous named lakes.
