About this map

Centerville and Lino Lakes dominate this wetland-rich landscape in the late 1960s, defined by the interconnected waters of the Rice Creek-Chain of Lakes County Regional Park. The complex hydrological network includes significant bodies like Peltier Lake, Centerville Lake, and Reshanau Lake, along with the Wiregrass Marsh to the north. This environment necessitated early infrastructure like the Aqueduct and Pumping Station near the center of the sheet.

Institutional and conservation land use is prominent, with the Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area occupying the northern section and the State Correction Center located near the western edge. Local history is preserved at the St Genevieve Cem and Twitchell Cem, while a Seaplane Base on Rice Lake indicates the area's recreational and navigational utility. The transition from rural to suburban is evident in the grid of local roads like Frenchman Road and Pine Street bordering the settlements of Columbus and Hugo.
