2014 Map of Creston

About this map

Flathead River meanders in complex oxbows and side channels across this landscape, defining the character of the Flathead Valley. The hydrological complexity of the region is evident in the numerous named sloughs, including McWenneger Slough, Egan Slough, and Church Slough, which dominate the lowlands between the settlements of Evergreen and Creston. This map captures a suburban and rural interface east of the river, where residential areas like Forest Hill Village sit near specialized local landmarks like the Wounded Buck Ranch Airport. Aviation is a notable theme in this part of Montana, with Weaver Airport and Sanders Airport providing small-scale airfield infrastructure. To the east, the terrain rises toward Lake Blaine and the borders of the Flathead Nat For, showing the transition from the fertile valley floor to the forested foothills.
