2013 Map of Avoca

About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates this landscape, carving a wide path through the region and separating the village of Avoca from the community of Gotham to the north. This 2013 survey illustrates a deeply rooted agricultural economy, specifically noted by the numerous named livestock and dairy operations that define the rural sections. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific family-linked enterprises such as the Atwood Stock, Dairy and Grain Farm, the Walnut Grove Stock and Dairy Farm, and the Moss Creek Stock Farm. North of the river, the terrain rises into the distinctive Riverview Ridge and Bogus Bluff, while the Pine River feeds into the main channel near the Pine River Trl. The map also captures the local drainage patterns of several coulees and creeks, including Norway Hollow Cr, Marsh Cr, and the secluded Onion Hollow.
