About this map

Little Spokane River flows southward through this corner of Spokane County, providing the central corridor for both the Burlington Northern railroad and the early settlements of Milan and Chattaroy. The landscape transition is evident between the elevated Milan Hills and Orchard Bluff, with a dense network of local roads such as Milan Road and Chattaroy Road connecting these valley communities.

Genealogists can identify significant landmarks including the Milan Cem and the Chattaroy Cem, alongside regional educational centers like Riverside H S and Ponderosa Jr H S. The presence of numerous gravel and borrow pits near the river indicates the area's ongoing reliance on local resource extraction during the early 1970s. Smaller water bodies like Dead Mans Lake and Barley Lake dot the western terrain, reflecting the post-glacial topography of the region.
