1982 Map of Creola

About this map

The town of Creola serves as a focal point in this early 1980s survey, where the established residential patterns of Axis and Salco meet a landscape defined by industrial and natural water systems. The transit corridors of the Burlington Northern and Southern railroads parallel the main north-south artery, anchoring several small communities including Le Moyne and Barry Village. Away from the rail lines, the terrain is carved by numerous watercourses such as Cold Creek, Gunnison Creek, and the curiously named Hells Swamp Branch. This era shows a mix of heavy utility and local life, evidenced by the presence of a large Filtration Plant near Salco alongside more personal landmarks like Forest Lawn Cem and Little Bethel Ch. The map also captures the local extraction economy through several scattered Sandpit sites and active Gas Well locations near Hatters Pond.
