1971 Map of Creston

Educational and communal landmarks appear on the periphery, notably Kishwaukee College to the east and the Northwest United Ch in the northeast. Natural drainage is dictated by the East Branch Killbuck Creek and Malta Creek, which wind through the township boundaries. A distinct network of red dashed lines, identified in the margin as visible fence and field lines, provides an unusually detailed look at the rural property boundaries and land use patterns of the early 1970s.
