About this map

Centuria serves as a central hub for this late-1970s landscape in Polk County, where the village layout is defined by the Soo Line and a cluster of local services like the Trailer Park and Wayside Park. The surrounding townships of Eureka, Milltown, and St Croix Falls are dotted with numerous cemeteries, including Fristad Cem and Mc Askill Cem, which provide significant touchpoints for local family history research.

The landscape is heavily marked by glaciation, featuring a dense network of water bodies such as Deer Lake, Long Lake, and Poplar Lake. The area's mid-century economy is visible through several Gravel Pit operations and a Pipeline corridor cutting through the rural terrain. Recreational development is prominent near the water, evidenced by the St Pauls Camp and various boat ramps and campgrounds that speak to the region's long-standing transition toward seasonal residency and outdoor leisure.
