2016 Map of Avoca

About this map

The Cohocton River valley serves as the central corridor for this part of Steuben County, anchoring the primary settlements of Avoca, Wallace, Bloomerville, and a portion of Cohocton. The landscape is defined by its deep, narrow valleys and the numerous hills that separate them, such as Waterbury Hill, Wagner Hill, and Cance Hill. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and rural character of the region, where family-named roads and landmarks remain prominent. Genealogists will find a significant density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the large Cem of Avoca and Highland Cem to smaller, upland locations like Olmstead Hill Cem and Smith Pond Cem. The drainage network, including Tenmile Cr and Salmon Cr, feeds into the Cohocton, while upland water bodies like Smith Pond and Loucks Pond dot the higher elevations between the hollows.
