About this map

The Cohocton River valley defines the orientation of settlement and transport in this 2019 survey of Steuben County. The village of Avoca serves as a local hub near the southern confluence of Salmon Cr and Goff Creek, while the smaller hamlets of Bloomerville, Wallace, and Cohocton line the northwestern corridor. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, with named heights like Waterbury Hill, Wagner Hill, and Cance Hill overlooking narrow drainages such as Lyon Hollow and Avery Hollow.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, including the Old Avoca Cem and Highland Cem near the town center, as well as the more remote Smith Pond Cem and Olmstead Hill Cem. The area's water resources are well-documented, from the larger Tenmile Cr and Twelvemile Creek to upland features like Smith Pond and Loucks Pond. The road network follows these natural contours, with routes like Waterbury Hill Rd and Neils Creek Rd tracing the rural landscape.
