1968 Map of Center Point
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Cedar River carves a winding path through the center of this landscape, creating a complex wetland environment in the Fayette Bottoms. These lowlands are dotted with numerous small lakes and basins, including Goose Pond, Little Lewis Lake, and Big Lewis Lake, providing a sharp contrast to the upland agricultural fields of Benton and Linn Co. This 1968 survey (with 1982 revisions) shows the conversion of transportation infrastructure, notably the Cedar Valley Nature Trail occupying the former Old Railroad Grade north of Center Point. Local history is anchored by several rural landmarks, including Cedar Ridge Ch and cemeteries like Davis Cem and McBroom Cem. The development of Pleasant Creek State Park in the southwest corner indicates a mid-century shift toward public recreation and conservation along the river corridor.
