About this map

The city of Creston serves as the focal point of this southwestern Iowa landscape, anchored by the Union County Courthouse and a dense residential grid. The surrounding countryside is defined by the headwaters and branches of several significant waterways, including the Middle Platte River and the Grand River. This drainage pattern creates a series of ridges and valleys that have historically dictated the placement of rural cemeteries and local infrastructure.

Genealogists will find several burial sites well-marked across the terrain, from the large Graceland Cem near the city center to more secluded locations like Old Jerusalem Cem and Evergreen Cem to the north. The southern portion of the map features the Creston Municipal Airport, illustrating the modern transportation footprint alongside the older rural road network of named avenues like Iris Ave and Osage St.
