About this map

Cameron serves as the primary hub of this highland landscape, where the Waynesburg Pike and the historic Warrior Trail intersect near the West Virginia-Pennsylvania state line. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges, including Goshorn Ridge, Grapevine Ridge, and Cameron Ridge, which define the drainage basins of Grave Creek and Fish Creek. Small settlements like Loudenville, Woodruff, and Kausooth are scattered along these watercourses and winding mountain roads, often anchored by local landmarks such as Ramp Hollow.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community burial sites, including the uniquely named Hall-Doty-Lewis-Bruhn-Chambers Cemetery and the Fletcher Earliwine Cemetery. These sites, along with others like Rock Lick Cemetery and Bane Cemetery, speak to the deep ancestral roots in Marshall and Greene Counties. The map also records natural features like the James E Blake Spring and Joseph Shepherd Spring, which likely served as vital landmarks for early residents navigate the steep valleys and ridges.
