If you grew up in Avon, or you’ve ever driven Route 44 over Avon Mountain into the Farmington Valley, you’ll find your town on this map just as it stands in 2026. Look for your road. West Main Street, Simsbury Road, Avon Mountain Road, Waterville Road, Country Club Road, West Avon Road, Lovely Street, Old Farms Road, Huckleberry Hill Road, Thompson Road, Arch Road, Harris Road, New Road and Pine Hill Road are all printed by name, along with dozens more.
Avon is in Hartford County, in the Farmington Valley of Connecticut.
KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data, and gave it the look of an old atlas. The shaded hills, from Talcott Mountain down to the Farmington River, come from United States Geological Survey elevation data. The streets and the town line come from the Census Bureau, right down to small streets like Byron Drive. The map prints the old village names too: Avon Center, Old Avon Village, West Avon, Alsop Corner and Crowleys Corner. A guide of 34 numbered landmarks runs along the bottom, with the two National Register sites marked, and we checked those against National Park Service records.
From Northington to Avon
Settlers arrived here in 1645, when this was still the northern part of Farmington. In 1750 the people up here got a church parish of their own, called Northington. The Farmington Canal opened in 1828 and brought new business to the village, and the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail runs through town today. Two years later, in 1830, the Connecticut General Assembly incorporated Northington as the town of Avon. That’s the year on the title panel of the map: Established 1830.

Avon Center and the Congregational Church
The busiest cluster of numbers on the map is Avon Center, around the Town Green (19). The Avon Congregational Church (15) stands here. Its meetinghouse dates to 1819 and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972, and church members found documents showing that the well-known architect David Hoadley designed it.
Avon Town Hall (21), the Avon Post Office (22) and the Avon Police Department (26) are close by, along with the Farmington Valley Arts Center (31) and a parcel of Town of Avon Open Space (28). The guide numbers both the Avon History Museum (9) and the Avon Historical Society Museum (16) in this part of town, so it’s a good place to start if you want the town’s story.
A Library Older Than the Town
The Avon Free Public Library (10) was founded in 1791. That’s 39 years before Avon itself became a town. On the map it sits over by West Avon, near the middle school.
Pine Grove and the Schools
The Pine Grove Historic District (30) was listed on the National Register in 1980. According to the church, it’s the only other place in Avon on the National Register. Pine Grove School (7) is close to the district, and the Pine Grove School House, a former schoolhouse, is one of the town’s notable old buildings. The town’s other elementary school, Roaring Brook School (25), is in the guide too, along with Thompson Brook School (27) for grades 5 and 6, Avon Middle School (8) for grades 7 and 8, Avon High School (23) and the Reggio Magnet School of the Arts (17). Avon Old Farms (4), a private boarding school for boys, sits on Old Farms Road.
Parks, Preserves and the Horse Guard
Horse Guard State Park Scenic Reserve (34) is just north of West Avon. It’s named for the oldest active mounted cavalry unit in the United States, founded in 1788. Talcott Mountain State Park (29) runs along the ridge in the northeast, and the Nod Brook State Wildlife Area (14) and Blue Fox Run Golf Course (11) are out that way too.
Fisher Meadows Recreation Area (32) and Alsop Meadows (20) are on the east side of town. The rest of the guide is parks and woods: River Park (1), Sperry Park (2), Oakes Preserve (3), Wellner Preserve (5), Countryside Park (6), the Thompson-Osborne Refuge (12), Found Land Recreation Area (13), Hazen Park (18), Sycamore Hills Park (24) and Huckleberry Hill Recreation Area (33). The Huckleberry Hills Trails are printed by name as well.
This map of Avon makes a handsome addition to a living room, office, library or den, and it can even help teach children the geography and history of the town. It’s a thoughtful gift for anyone who calls Avon home, grew up here, or moved away. Created by KNOWOL in 2026, it’s printed on museum quality archival paper in three sizes.
