2015 Map of Creston

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the topography of this high-desert region, where drainage patterns are split between western and eastern basins. Located on the border of Sweetwater Co and Carbon Co, the small settlement of Creston is situated alongside the primary east-west transportation corridor, including the path of Creston Rd. The landscape is characterized by its arid drainage network, notably Creston Draw, Latham Draw, and Hansen Draw, which carve through the high-altitude terrain. This survey reflects the modern infrastructure of the Great Divide Basin, a region critical for energy and transportation where the legal boundaries of several townships, such as t20n r92w, meet. The layout demonstrates how early ranching and transport routes were dictated by the subtle dips and ridges of the divide, maintaining a pattern of settlement and utility that persists in the 21st century.
