About this map

Cameron serves as the central hub of this northern panhandle landscape, situated along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor where it follows the course of Grave Creek. The town is well-established with civic infrastructure including the High School and the local Water Works. Moving away from the valley floor, the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges such as Fork Ridge and Cameron Ridge, where small rural settlements like Loudenville and Clouston are located.

Industry and topography are closely linked here, evidenced by the extensive Gas Field in the southwest and scattered Oil Wells. Significant landmarks for genealogists and local historians include the Mount Carmel Church and several burial grounds like Highland Cemetery. To the south, the winding path of Fish Creek passes through Kausooth and Bellton, while the eastern margin marks the state border between West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
