1947 Map of Cameron

About this map

Driftwood Branch Sinnemahoning Creek carves a deep valley through this portion of Cameron County, anchoring the settlements of Cameron and Sterling Run. In the mid-1940s, the landscape was defined by its industrial and burial sites, including the Pine St Cem and Wylie Cem near the water's edge, and Grove Hill Cem to the southeast. The terrain is marked by numerous hollows and runs, such as Tannery Hollow Run and Stillhouse Run, names that hint at the historical wood-product and distilling industries once prevalent in these narrow valleys. High points like Huston Hill and Mason Hill overlook the winding creek, while the presence of Slyder Airport near Hunts Run shows the modest expansion of local aviation into the rugged Pennsylvania interior during the post-war era.
