1971 Map of Anita
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Anita serves as the central hub of this Cass County landscape, situated where the Chicago and Pacific Rock Island railroad tracks bisect the town's grid. The era's recreational development is centered on the expansive Lake Anita State Park and its accompanying campground, which surround the waters of Lake Anita. This man-made reservoir provides a distinct contrast to the natural meandering paths of Troublesome Creek, Turkey Creek, and Crooked Creek that drain the surrounding agricultural townships of Benton, Grant, Franklin, and Lincoln. Local history and genealogy interest is found in the three rural burial grounds spaced across the quadrangle: Highland Cem, Evergreen Cem, and St Josephs Cem. Further civic infrastructure is evidenced by the Anita Municipal Airport and the Crestwood Golf Club, reflecting the mid-century growth of the area's local amenities.
