Museums hold 1,130 specimens collected within 10 miles of Avon Point between 1880 and 1975: 855 Animalia, 251 Fungi, 18 Plantae, 4 Unrecorded, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, A. A. Wright, A. E. Ricksecker and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1067157. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
