2011 Map of Creston

About this map

Creston occupies the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Platte County, where the village is centered around the Creston Post Office. This part of Nebraska is defined by a grid of rural routes like Monastery Rd and 822nd Rd that partition the land between several winding waterways. Genealogists will find two distinct burial sites preserved on this sheet: the Fairview Cemetery north of town and the more isolated Creston Pioneer Cemetery further east. The drainage pattern is dictated by Meridian Creek and the West Fork Maple Creek, with the headwaters of Loseke Creek carving through the southern sections. This survey provides a clear view of the rural township structure and small-town Nebraska life during the early twenty-first century.
