About this map

The city of Creston anchors the western edge of this Union County landscape, serving as a hub where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor meets a dense network of civic and religious institutions. This 1980s-era record details the town's mature mid-century infrastructure, including the Creston Municipal Airport and several local schools such as Irving Sch and St Malachys Sch. Beyond the urban grid, the terrain transitions into the agricultural townships of Spaulding, Lincoln, and Douglas.

Rural life is marked by longstanding landmarks like the Jerusalem Ch and accompanying Jerusalem Cem, while the northern reaches are dominated by the recreational grounds of Green Valley State Park. Waterways including Twelvemile Creek and the Middle Platte River carve through the section lines, defining the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and local transit routes toward smaller locales like Graves.
