1904 Map of Cameron

About this map

The Ohio River R.R. (B. & O. R.R.) follows the tight curve of the river at McMechen and Moundsville, anchoring a landscape defined by the deeply eroded plateaus of the Northern Panhandle. While the riverfront is industrial, the interior consists of an intricate network of ridges and runs, where small agricultural and post-office communities like Beelers Station, Glen Easton, and Loudenville are linked by winding roads like the Waynesburg Pike. This era shows the B. & O. R.R. pushing through the difficult terrain of the Fork Grave Creek valley, passing through Cameron on its way toward the Pennsylvania line.
