2023 Map of Cameron

About this map

The Canisteo River carves a deep valley through this Steuben County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the community of Cameron and West Cameron. High above the river valley, the topography is defined by prominent peaks like Oregon Hill and Averell Hill, where a network of family-named roads and remote cemeteries suggests generations of rural settlement. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites, from the Eight Square Cem near Five Corners to the Boyd Cem along the North Branch Tuscarora Creek. The presence of Randall's Roost Airport near South Cameron and the modern road network, including Co Rte 119 and Co Rte 21, highlights the enduring utility of these valley routes even as upland areas like Mud Hollow remain sparsely populated. This detailed study captures a moment where old hilltop farmsteads and riverside hamlets like Hedgesville persist alongside modern infrastructure.
