2015 Map of Niobrara NE

About this map

Avon serves as a primary settlement point on the edge of the northern plains, where the rectilinear grid of township roads meets the winding course of Choteau Cr. The landscape is defined by its agricultural layout, yet it preserves a significant record of early community life through its numerous rural burial grounds. These sites, including the First German Baptist Cem, Wesleyan Cem, and Friedenberg Mennonite Cem, reflect the diverse denominational heritage of the settlers who established farms in this region. Along the western edge, the border between Bon Homme and Charles Mix Counties follows the natural path of Dry Choteau Cr. This 2015 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from established routes like Stone House Rd to the intricate network of numbered section roads that facilitate the local farming economy.
