2012 Map of Cameron

About this map

Cameron and Gerlaw anchor this agricultural landscape in Warren County, where the transition from traditional farming to modern aviation is marked by the presence of Youngs Landing Strip and Hawkins Farms Landing Strip. The area is bisected by the winding courses of Cedar Cr and Talbot Cr, which create a varied topography amidst the strictly gridded sectional roads. For local historians and genealogists, the map is a detailed record of rural community life, preserving the locations of several burial grounds such as Gerlaw Cem and Patterson Cem. Near the center of the sheet, the settlement of Coldbrook sits along Coldbrook Rd, serving as a waypoint in a region defined by its reliance on both road networks and private airstrips. The inclusion of Gibson Woods Golf Course near the western edge further reflects the development of recreational spaces within this established Illinois prairie setting.
