2013 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 follow the water's path. This landscape is defined by the convergence of several significant tributaries, including Neils Cr and Salmon Cr, which cut through the surrounding uplands like Waterbury Hill and Wagner Hill. The mapping of these valleys reveals a cluster of early burial grounds that serve as vital records for local genealogy, including the Old Cem of Avoca and the Vale of Rest Cem. Along the riverbanks, smaller settlements like Bloomerville and Lyon Hollow illustrate the historic distribution of population centers tied to the valley floor. Toward the southwestern corner, Smith Pond and Loucks Pond mark a shift into a more lake-dotted terrain, offering a look at the county's diverse geography during the early 21st century.
