2020 Map of Airway Heights

About this map

Airway Heights serves as a focal point for this eastern Washington landscape, situated on the high plateau just west of the Spokane city limits. The geography is defined by the sharp descent from the plateau into the Spokane River valley, where the Seven Mile Road Bridge crosses the water near the settlement of Seven Mile. To the north, the terrain transitions into the open spaces of Indian Prairie and the distinctive geological features of Pine Bluff and the Horse Corridor. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the expansive infrastructure of the Spokane International Airport, illustrating the modern transport network that replaced early rural settlements like Lyons and Hazelwood. The drainage patterns of Coulee Cr and Deep Cr cut through the northern volcanic and glacial deposits, providing a look at the natural hydrology that shaped the area's development.
