UAH Campus Structures Map

A secondary, campus-scale map showing known and approximately-located structures — houses, enslaved persons' quarters, outbuildings, cemeteries, and archaeological survey areas — from Avalon Plantation on the present-day UAH campus, based on the 1966 UAH Campus Topographic Map and published UAH research. Oral histories and local legends without a confirmed location are listed separately below.

How to read this map. Markers show documented or approximately-located structures tied to Avalon Plantation on the present-day UAH campus. Dashed-outline markers are approximate placements based on relative descriptions in published sources (e.g., "between Building A and Building B") — not surveyed GPS coordinates. Click any marker for its full sourcing. Oral histories and local legends without a confirmed location are listed below the map rather than pinned.

Oral histories & local legends

These stories are logged for the record but are not pinned to the map above because no confirmed location or documentary source has been located yet. We do not fabricate coordinates for oral tradition — each item below is flagged with its verification status.

If you have family knowledge, a recording, or a document related to any of these stories — including "APJ and the cave" — please get in touch.
