2020 Map of Cheney

About this map

Eastern Washington University serves as a major focal point for the city of Cheney, defining the northern portion of this landscape with its campus grid and street names such as Elm St and Ash St. Moving south from the urban center, the terrain transitions into a complex hydrographic network of scabland lakes and meadows. Significant water bodies like Blackhorse Lake, Isaacson Lake, and the curiously named Winslow Pool are interspersed with drainage features such as the Pine Cr Drain. This area is further characterized by its recreational and historical corridors, notably the Columbia Plateau State Park Trail, which cuts diagonally across the township. Local history is anchored by sites like the New England Cem and small outlying clusters at South Cheney and East Cheney, illustrating the distributed settlement pattern that persists outside the main university town.
