About this map

The Cohocton River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transportation in this Steuben County landscape, carving a path through high ridges like Waterbury Hill and Wagner Hill. The village of Avoca anchors the southern portion of the sheet, situated at the confluence where Tenmile Creek and Salmon Creek meet the river. This area shows a dense concentration of civic memory, with numerous burial grounds including the Old Avoca Cem and Highland Cem overlooking the river valley.

Moving north toward Cohocton and Wallace, the map reveals a terrain defined by narrow hollows such as Avery Hollow and Lyon Hollow. Small settlements like Bloomerville and Michigan Hollow are tucked into the landscape, while agricultural and family history is preserved through labels like Smith Pond Cem near Smith Pond and the Olmsted Hill Cem. The drainage patterns of Neils Creek and Goff Creek further illustrate the complex hydrology of this Finger Lakes-adjacent region.
