1948 Map of Creston

About this map

Creston serves as the primary hub in this rural landscape within San Luis Obispo County, surveyed just after the war in the late 1940s. The settlement pattern is defined by the winding course of Huerhuero Creek, which is fed by the West Branch, Middle Branch, and East Branch. The land use of the era is evidenced by numerous Windmills scattered across the Santa Ysabel and Asuncion land grants, alongside a specific Oil well and a Pumping Station indicating local industrial activity. Educational and community infrastructure is represented by the Geneseo Sch and a local Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists. The presence of extensive Telephone Lines and Pipe Lines cutting across the creek beds shows the mid-century modernization of this agricultural interior.
