1967 Map of Circle Pines

About this map

Blaine and the surrounding Anoka County landscape undergo significant transformation in this late 1960s survey, updated with purple photorevisions to show the northward push of Twin Cities suburbanization. The sheet is anchored by the Anoka County Airport (Janes Field) and the residential clusters of Circle Pines and Lexington. Extensive wetlands and water bodies, such as Rice Lake and Baldwin Lake, dominate the eastern half, while the Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area preserves a large swath of natural terrain in the northeast. Locally significant landmarks include Centennial Sch, St Mark Ch, and the Golden Tee Country Club. The map provides a detailed view of mid-century infrastructure, featuring local roads like Raddison Road and Lexington Avenue, along with several trailer parks and a Drive-in Theater that characterize the era's land use.
