Explore Cameron, Texas, 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, Texas. 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 Texas 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 maintains a quiet existence across a landscape defined by the expansive, sun-drenched plains of the region. It lies 27.5 miles southeast of Temple, TX (from Temple, TX: bearing 128°T), and is situated 13.7 miles north of Rockdale. The terrain around Cameron stretches toward the horizon with a steady, unyielding flatness that catches the long, golden light of late afternoon. A mile away, the Little River cuts a slow, deliberate path through the earth, providing a constant presence for the local wildlife and vegetation. Seven miles to the west, the subtle depression of Dry Hollow offers a slight variation in the otherwise level ground, while Wilson Hill rises eleven miles out as a solitary landmark against the sky. Oj Thomas Park sits within the limits of Cameron, offering a small, shaded respite where the scent of dry grass and warm soil lingers in the air.
Agriculture and the steady pulse of local commerce have long defined the way of life for those living in Cameron. Early settlers recognized the promise of the fertile black soil, which remains the backbone of an economy rooted firmly in the cultivation of cotton and grain. Over time, the rhythm of work shifted to accommodate regional industries that utilize the land’s raw materials, ensuring that production remains tied to the cycles of the seasons. Business owners and laborers alike navigate the daily demands of a modern economy while honoring the traditions of those who broke the ground generations ago. Cameron serves as a functional anchor for the surrounding agricultural interests, where the hum of machinery often serves as the soundtrack to the working day.
The cultural character of Cameron reflects a resilient spirit, shaped by the distinct blend of families who have called these plains home for decades. Life here moves with a deliberate pace, punctuated by local gatherings at Oj Thomas Park that reinforce the bonds of a close-knit population. While the landscape is vast and open, the people find meaning in the specific landmarks that define their daily navigation, such as the distant silhouette of Wilson Hill or the quiet banks of the Little River. The reservoir known as Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir remains a quiet destination for those seeking solitude fifteen miles away. Among the notable figures associated with the broader region, the celebrated musician Blind Lemon Jefferson spent formative years in the area, leaving behind a legacy that resonates through the blues traditions of the state.

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.
