About this map

The Canisteo River carves a deep valley through the northern half of this landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the Erie RR and connecting settlements like Cameron and Cameron Mills. The terrain is defined by a dense network of upland ridges and narrow stream valleys, such as Tuscarora Creek and Goodhue Creek, where small agrarian communities and one-room schoolhouses flourished in the mid-1920s.

Genealogical value is found in the high density of rural school districts, including the Eight Square School, Roosa School, and Gothic School, which point to the distributed population of the era. To the south, the village of Woodhull serves as a crossroads, surrounded by family-named landmarks like Kinners Knob and Cobble Knoll. The map preserves the transition from traditional river-and-rail industry to the early motor age, showing numerous secondary routes reaching into remote pockets like Hedgesville and Risingville.
