2017 Map of Creston

About this map

Creston anchors the southern portion of this Lincoln County landscape, situated where the high plateau begins its descent toward the Columbia River basin. To the north, the terrain is defined by the expansive Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, where the waters of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake reach into Moonshine Bay. This geography creates a sharp contrast between the organized grid of agricultural roads like Lartzen Rd and the complex drainage systems of Sherman Cr and Goose Cr. Further north, the settlement of Sherman sits amidst a network of canyons and draws, including Tamarack Canyon and Sage Hen Draw, illustrating the historical reliance on these natural corridors for movement through the broken coulee country of eastern Washington.
