2022 Map of Creston West

About this map

The Platte River and its various branches, including the Middle Platte River and W Platte River, carve through the agricultural landscape of western Union County. This 2022 survey illustrates the relationship between the rural settlement of Cromwell and the expanding western edge of Creston. The terrain is marked by essential community landmarks for genealogists, including Cromwell Cem, Lytles Grove Cem, and Spaulding Center Cem. Water management is a defining feature of the area, as seen in the presence of Green Valley Lake and Summit Lake, which sit north and west of the city center. The institutional footprint of the region is anchored by the Southwestern Community College - Creston Campus near the junction of 160th St and W Townline St. This map effectively documents the transition from open farmland to suburban development along the county line.
