2010 Map of Avoca

About this map

The Cohocton River valley serves as the central artery for this portion of Steuben County, where the village of Avoca and the hamlet of Wallace are situated along its course. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and riparian character of the landscape, defined by a network of hollows such as Lyon Hollow and Avery Hollow that cut through the surrounding uplands. Local genealogy is well-represented by several significant burial grounds, including the Highland Cemetery overlooking Avoca and the Vale of Rest Cemetery near Wallace. The southern reaches of the quadrangle feature established water bodies like Loucks Pond and Smith Pond, while the northern terrain rises toward Waterbury Hill. A dense grid of rural roads, many bearing family names like Rynders Rd and Cosgriff Hill Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and small settlements that have anchored this valley for generations.
