About this map

Avoca sits at the heart of this St. Clair County landscape, serving as a central hub where Avoca Rd and Kilgore Rd intersect. The surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, most notably the winding course of Mill Creek and the southern flow of the Pine River. These waters have long influenced the placement of rural settlements and family homesteads throughout the townships.

To the north, the hamlet of Fargo is situated near Plum Creek, while Ruby occupies the southeastern corner of the map. Traces of local heritage are preserved at Greenwood Cem and Spring Hill Cem, while the presence of Avoca Airport and Fasel Field indicates the transition from traditional farming to small-scale aviation and recreational land use. The map's grid of section lines and named roads like Imlay City Rd reflects a deeply established surveyor's layout that has guided the region's development for generations.
