1935 Map of Cameron

About this map

Moundsville serves as a prominent anchor along the Ohio River in this 1935 revision of the northern West Virginia panhandle. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Grave Creek Ridge and Wolf Ridge, where life was historically organized around small rural schools and local churches. The map reveals the critical transportation corridors of the era, including the Baltimore and Ohio railroad winding through the valley at Cameron and the historic Waynesburg Turnpike traversing the high ground.
