About this map

The county seat of Cameron serves as the focal point for this survey, showcasing a dense network of civic and educational infrastructure such as the Courthouse, Yoe High Sch, and the Thomas High Sch. To the south, the landscape transitions into an area defined by agricultural and industrial activity, including the Houston Oklahoma Oil Field and scattered Gravel Pits.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community burial grounds, from the Old City Cem near the Little River to rural sites like the Turnham-McCowan Cem and Batka Cem. The transport history of Milam County is preserved through the Southern Pacific railroad lines and an Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the terrain near Bear Creek. The map also captures local cultural landmarks like the Mexican Fiesta Ground and the Municipal Airpark.
