About this map

Eastern Washington Univ serves as the focal point for the city of Cheney, located in a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small lakes. The grid of the university town transition into outlying areas like South Cheney and East Cheney, where the terrain becomes dominated by diverse water bodies such as Findley Lake, Kepple Lake, and McDowell Lake. This geography reflects the glacial history of the region, where numerous basins have filled to create a complex hydrologic system including Turnbull Slough and Rock Cr.

Genealogists will find the locations of Fairview Cem and New England Cem on the western edge of the city. Outside the urban center, the map details many family-named features and natural landmarks like Phillips Meadow and Isaacson Lake, alongside the extensive Pine Lakes area. The distribution of these features reveals a balance between the academic and residential core of the city and the surrounding conservation and agricultural lands.
