2015 Map of Creston East

About this map

Creston anchors the western edge of this Union County landscape, where the town's street grid meets the agricultural reaches of central Iowa. The area is defined by the branching waters of the Middle Platte River and its tributaries, including Twelvemile Cr and Three Mile Cr, which carve through the terrain as they flow toward the Grand River in the southeast. Several historic burial grounds, including Jerusalem Cem and Evergreen Cem in the north, and Graceland Cem to the south, provide important touchstones for local genealogical research. The presence of the County Home Cem near the eastern boundary offers a specific look into the county's social history. To the south of the main settlement, the Creston Municipal Airport occupies a flat expanse, while a dense network of numbered county roads like Co Rd P33 and Co Rd H33 connects the various townships and rural properties.
