1971 Map of Creston
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Creston occupies the center of this 1971 survey, showing a well-defined grid just south of the Chicago and North Western railroad line. This period of the 1970s represents a transition for the regional infrastructure, as the newly mapped East-West Tollway cuts across the southern portion of the landscape, bypassing the older rural road networks. To the east, Kishwaukee College appears as a significant institutional landmark, while the countryside remains divided into large agricultural tracts marked by family-named routes like Twombly Road and Gurler Road. Waterways such as Killbuck Creek and the South Branch Kishwaukee River wind through the township boundaries of Dement and Malta, punctuated by local landmarks including the Northwest United Ch and the quiet grounds of Woodlawn Cem.
