About this map

The town of Centerville sits at the heart of a complex hydrologic landscape in Anoka County, defined by a chain of water bodies including Centerville Lake, Peltier Lake, and George Watch Lake. By the late 1960s, the surrounding area of Lino Lakes shows an emerging suburban street grid, though much of the northern terrain remains dominated by the Wiregrass Marsh and the sprawling Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area.

Infrastructure of the period is clearly marked, from the State Correction Center in the west to the Seaplane Base on the northern shore of Rice Lake. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial sites, including St Genevieve Cem near the town center and the Twitchel Cem further west. The eastern boundary with Washington County includes the western edge of Hugo, where Clearwater Creek flows toward the larger lake system, illustrating the region's reliance on natural drainage patterns.
