The name of the town is "Cameron". It is the parish seat for Cameron Parish. The total population of the town is probably less than 5000, but I couldn't find any quick facts on the town.

As someone else said, CAMERON, LA. It looks like a little community between the the beach and a lake about 25 miles southeast of Port Arthur. Best I can guess (using low resolution Google Earth images) is the photo is looking west along State Hwy 27 where Hwy 80 splits off.

That is Cameron La...... It's a coastal community running along a ridge next to the Gulf of Mexico. It sits due south of Lake Charles some 35 miles or so on the east side of the Ship Channel or Calcasieu River. This is the community that lost some 500+ people in 1957 when Hurricane Audrey roared ashore and wiped them out. Population of the town is about 2,000 and the Parish about 10,000.
