About this map

The CSX rail line winds through the central valley of Marshall County, following the course of Grave Creek and connecting the town of Cameron with neighboring Loudenville. This high-relief landscape is defined by its prominent ridges, such as Goshorn Ridge, Nauvoo Ridge, and Cameron Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Loudenville Road and Tunnel Hill Road. Small settlements and family hamlets such as Clouston, Green Valley, and Andersonville are scattered across the uplands, often centered around local landmarks like Mount Carmel Church.

The border between West Virginia and Pennsylvania runs along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where the terrain transitions into Greene County. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites documented, ranging from the central Cameron Cemetery to smaller, isolated family plots like Bane Cemetery, Wise Cemetery, and the Hall-Doty-Lewis-Bruhn-Chambers Cemetery. The complex drainage network, featuring North Fork Fish Creek and Maggoty Run, illustrates the deeply dissected plateau characteristic of this border region.
