2016 Map of Cameron

About this map

The Little River meanders through this portion of Milam County, defining the agricultural and riparian character of the landscape surrounding Cameron. As the county seat, the town is a dense network of residential streets and civic landmarks, including the Santa Monica Mausoleum and the Cameron Municipal Airpark. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, reflecting generations of rural settlement. Researchers can find numerous sites such as the Payatka Family Cem, Turnham - McCown Cem, and Brewer - Slocomb Cem scattered across the countryside. To the south, the smaller communities of Minerva and Hoyte sit along the primary road corridors, while the terrain is drained by several tributaries including Sandy Cr and Mustang Cr. The presence of Green Lake and Newton Lake further illustrates the hydrology of the river bottomlands during this recent era.
