2011 Map of Cameron

About this map

Cameron serves as the focal point for this section of Marshall County, situated along Grave Creek near the unique topographical depression of Ramp Hollow. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-hollow character, where narrow roads like County Hwy 250/8 follow the high ground of Goshorn Ridge and Grapevine Ridge. A sophisticated system of flood control is evident through numerous installations such as Upper Grave Creek Structure Number One Dam and Upper Grave Creek Structure Number Nine Dam, which protect the lower settlements. Smaller communities including Woodruff, Bellton, and Rocklick are connected by a network of winding runs like Fish Creek and North Fork Grave Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its high density of family and community burial sites, from the Fletcher-Earlwine Cemetery in the north to the Gray Cemetery in the south.
