From 1885 until 1913 the Sanborn Insurance Company drew very intricate maps of downtown Cameron for the purpose of assisting underwriters. These maps have incredible detail of a growing business district. From horse and buggy days with public watering spots and very few downtown buildings through the automobile age with businesses lining all the downtown streets, these maps capture snapshots of a community just starting it's role as crossroads of the nation.
