Explore Cameron, Louisiana, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cameron, Louisiana. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Louisiana or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Cameron.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Cameron holds the low, salt-stung horizon where the Calcasieu Pass cuts a deep, insistent channel through the marsh toward the Gulf. It lies 30.3 miles south-southwest of Lake Charles, LA (from Lake Charles, LA: bearing 192°T), and is situated 30.5 miles south of Sulphur. Salt-marsh grasses sway in a perpetual, muted dance against the gray sky, their blades shivering as the tide pulls rhythmically against the mudflats. Only a mile away, the quiet reach of Monkey Island breaks the flat expanse of the wetlands, while the broader, deeper waters of Calcasieu Lake shimmer three miles inland, acting as a mirror to the heavy, humid clouds. The light here at dusk possesses a bruised, pearlescent quality, softening the sharp edges of the reeds and turning the water into molten pewter as the day exhales its remaining heat.
Cameron persists as a resilient outpost of maritime industry, its economy tethered to the shifting fortunes of the channel and the harvest of the deep. History here is written in the stubborn endurance of those who work the water, navigating the currents that have shaped the regional character long before modern commerce arrived to claim the shoreline. Beyond the immediate bustle of the docks, the Cameron Prairie National Wildlife Refuge offers a sanctuary where the land remains untamed, a stark contrast to the infrastructure that supports the local livelihood. Travelers seeking a slower vantage point often venture toward the Creole Nature Trail, nine miles away, where the intersection of land and water reveals the quiet, persistent pulse of a place that refuses to be erased by the tides.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
