2011 Map of Avon

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape along the Washington County border, shaping a complex network of landings and riparian features during the early 21st century. The map documents numerous river access points including Seven Oaks Landing, Glenora Landing, and Stella Landing, reflecting the area's continued reliance on the waterway. Inland, the settlement of Avon and the nearby Graymound Cemetery provide specific focal points for local genealogy and history. A sophisticated drainage system, marked by features like Ditch Number Ten and Ditch Number Fourteen, supports the agricultural land protected by the prominent Levee Rd. The presence of the Mississippi Power and Light Company Lake Dam near Longwood illustrates the intersection of industrial utility and water management in this delta environment, where old river paths are preserved in names like Kentucky Bend and Cornfield Chute.
