1967 Map of Centerville

About this map

Centerville Lake and the interconnected waters of Peltier Lake form the hydraulic heart of this Anoka County region during the late 1960s and 1970s. The landscape is defined by its transition from agricultural and conservation lands, such as the Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area, to the growing suburban structures of Lino Lakes and Hugo. Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Aqueduct and various pipelines traversing the wetlands near Rice Creek. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for the St Genevieve Cem and Twitchel Cem, alongside civic landmarks like the State Correction Center. The presence of a Seaplane Base on Rice Lake highlights the era's active recreational and utilitarian use of the glacial lake chain.
