About this map

Fairchild Air Force Base and the Spokane International Airport dominate the southern landscape of this 1973 survey, illustrating the significant aviation and military footprint on the outskirts of Spokane. The city of Airway Heights sits between these major hubs, while the northern terrain transitions into the steep coulees of Deep Creek and the sweeping curves of the Spokane River. The presence of Riverside State Park and the Camp Seven Mile Military Reservation highlights a corridor preserved for both public recreation and military utility.

Local history is preserved in the scattered rural landmarks, including the Warsaw School, Deno School, and Great Northern School, which served the farming communities across Indian Prairie. Industrial activity is evident in numerous Borrow Pits and gravel operations concentrated near the Burlington Northern railroad lines. The map also captures the civil infrastructure of the era, from the Stevens Township Hall to the intricate network of county roads like Hite Road and Euclid Road.
