2011 Map of Amber

About this map

Amber sits at the northern edge of this landscape, positioned between the waters of Alkali Lake and Amber Lake. The terrain is defined by a series of elongated lakes and drainage systems, including Williams Lake and Badger Lake, which follow the northeast-to-southwest orientation characteristic of the Channeled Scablands. A network of rural roads such as W Pine Springs Rd and S Mullinix Rd connects these water bodies, reflecting a region where geography dictates movement and settlement patterns. To the south, Negro Creek meanders across the territory, eventually intersecting with roads like Rock Lake Rd and Belsby Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where large water features and small springs like Cherry Springs serve as primary landmarks for local residents and genealogists tracing the development of Spokane County's outlying reaches.
