You're looking for this village: Kamionka (aka Kamjanka Rymanivska), which was inhabited by Carpatho-Rusyns of the Lemko subgroup. The region was unofficially called "Lemkovyna" -- the Lemko Region -- and was in Austrian Galicia, now southeastern Poland. The closest towns are Sanok, Rymanow, and Dukla. Kamianka, Sanok District Map Today
I believe it no longer exists as an inhabited place (it's just east of Zawadka Rymanowska, beyond where the road ends). Kamjanka may have been one of many Lemko/Rusyn/Ruthenian/Ukrainain villages destroyed and had its population deported to Ukraine, Northern and Western Poland or worse killed or sent to a concentration camp in "Operation Vistula" an action taken by the Polish Communist Government in 1947.
