1948 Map of Creston

About this map

Huerhuero Creek meanders through the central valley of this San Luis Obispo County landscape, defining the local geography as it flows toward the small settlement of Creston. The terrain is characterized by the prominent ridges of Santa Ysabel and Asuncion, which frame a territory of scattered rural landmarks. Traces of mid-century infrastructure are visible throughout the region, including an extensive Pipe Line and a Pumping Station near the southern edge of the survey. The community of Creston serves as a local hub where the Middle Branch and East Branch converge. Further north, the Geneseo Sch stands as a focal point for the surrounding homesteads, connected by an early Telephone Line that follows the creek bed and valley floor, illustrating the sparse but organized settlement pattern of the late 1940s.
