1994 Map of Creston

About this map

The Flathead River meanders across this northern Montana valley, creating a complex network of oxbow lakes and bypasses during the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by these distinctive water features, including the expansive Egan Slough, McWenneger Slough, and Church Slough, which illustrate the hydrological evolution of the river basin. Along the eastern edge, the settlement of Creston sits near the intersection of local routes, while the Fair Mont Egan School serves as a local landmark for the surrounding rural community. To the northwest, the State Wildlife Management Area borders the river, preserving a portion of the riparian environment near Shaws Slough. This survey captures the region's character as a mix of agricultural plots and managed wetlands before late-twentieth-century development altered the rural pattern.
