About this map

Centerville and the surrounding lake country of Anoka and Washington Counties are defined by a complex aquatic landscape and mid-century institutional development. The village of Centerville sits at a narrow point between Centerville Lake and Peltier Lake, where a Pumping Station and Flowing Wells indicate the local importance of water management. To the west, the sprawling Lino Lakes area is home to the State Correction Center and a Seaplane Base on the western shore of Rice Lake.

Transport and conservation are central to the region’s character, with the Northern Pacific railroad cutting through Hugo in the southeast and the Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area occupying the northwest corner. Genealogists will note several burial sites, including St Genevieve Cem near the town center and Twitchel Cem further west, along with family-named water bodies like Randeau Lake and Reshanau Lake.
