  The distribution of dust and molecular clouds in the direction of Galactic
longitudes 132--158 deg and latitudes pm 12 deg is investigated. The maps of
dust distribution in the area were plotted from the following surveys: the star
counts in the DSS I database by Dobashi et al. (2005), the survey of the
average infrared color excesses by Froebrich et al. (2007) and the thermal dust
emission survey at 100 micrometers by Schlegel et al. (1998). The distribution
of molecular clouds was taken from the whole sky CO survey by Dame et al.
(2001). All these surveys show very similar cloud patterns in the area. Using
the radial velocities of CO, the distances to separate clouds are estimated. A
revised list of the Cam OB1 association members contains 43 stars and the open
cluster NGC 1502. 18 young irregular variable and H alpha emission stars are
identified in the area. All this proves that the star forming process in the
Camelopardalis clouds is still in progress.
