1961 Map of Avoca

About this map

Avoca stands as a central rail point in this Michigan landscape, situated at the intersection of several local roads and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line. The surrounding townships of Greenwood and Kenockee are defined by a complex drainage network, where the winding course of Mill Creek and the Pine River dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. This area shows a typical mid-century rural Michigan settlement pattern, with small communities like Fargo and Abbottsford supported by a network of one-room schoolhouses such as Allen Sch and Swamp Sch.
