About this map

Eastern Washington University serves as a major focal point in the northern portion of this landscape, surrounded by the established street grid of Cheney. The transition from the urban center to the outlying areas is marked by distinct settlements like South Cheney and East Cheney, reflecting the organized expansion of the region. Local heritage is preserved at Fairview Cem and New England Cem, which sit near the western edge of the town's early residential blocks.

To the south and east, the character of the land shifts dramatically as it enters the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. This area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including Findley Lake, Blackhorse Lake, and the Hole Lakes. The presence of features like Phillips Meadow and Windmill Pond highlights the importance of the local hydrology and wetlands within Spokane County's geological framework.
