1996 Map of Cameron
USGS Topo · Published 1997About this map
Cameron and the surrounding townships of Floyd and Coldbrook characterize this portion of Western Illinois in the late 1990s. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Cedar Creek and its tributaries, including Talbot Creek and Henderson Creek, which carve through the otherwise rectilinear grid of agricultural land. While the eastern edge of Monmouth shows modern development like the Monmouth Park and nearby golf courses, much of the quadrangle preserves its rural 19th-century DNA. Family names are anchored to the land through numerous burial grounds such as Terpening Cem, Mosher Cem, and Patterson Cem. These sites, along with rural landmarks like the Warren Sch, provide critical touchstones for genealogists and local historians tracing the distribution of early settlements like Gerlaw and Coldbrook.
