2024 Map of Cameron

About this map

Gerlaw and Coldbrook anchor the northern reaches of this Warren County landscape, where the prairie is deeply incised by the drainages of Cedar Creek and Talbot Creek. The terrain reveals a transition from the structured agricultural grid of roads like 255 Ave and Buchanan Rd to the more sinuous topography surrounding the creek beds. This 2024 survey captures the enduring rural character of the region, punctuated by a significant number of family and community burial grounds, including the Gerlaw Cem, Terpening Cem, and Patterson Cem. These sites, often located on higher ground near the township lines, offer vital anchors for genealogical research. The southern edge of the map features the village of Cameron, situated along the rail corridor and Co Hwy 16, while the eastern outskirts of Monmouth touch the western boundary, showing the intersection of local routes like Old US Hwy 34 with the modern highway system.
