1954 Map of Creston

About this map

Creston sits at the intersection of rail and river in this mid-century western South Dakota landscape. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad runs parallel to Rapid Creek, which winds its way toward a confluence with the Cheyenne River in the southeast. The terrain is defined by its deep drainage patterns and named plateaus, transitioning from the broad expanse of Holcomb Flat and Kube Table to the carved-out paths of Dipping Vat Draw and Swinehart Draw.
