About this map

Cameron sits at the critical junction where the Calcasieu River meets the Gulf of Mexico, serving as a vital coastal hub for maritime and local transit. The town's layout is shaped by its proximity to the Calcasieu Ship Channel and the convergence of West Fork Calcasieu Pass and East Fork Calcasieu Pass. This 2018 survey illustrates the local topography of ridges and marshes, notably Back Ridge and Front Ridge, which provide a contrast to the surrounding wetlands and the waters of Calcasieu Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of community landmarks, including the Wakefield Memorial Cem, Kelly-Rogers Cem, and Our Lady Cem. The map documents the coastal infrastructure along La 82 and Broussard Beach Rd, as well as the industrial influence near Amoco Rd and the Lake Shore Canal. Unique coastal features like Monkey Island and Saint Johns Island illustrate the intricate geography of this Parish seat.
