About this map

Spokane Plains Battlefield anchors the southeastern landscape of this region, preserving the site of a significant historical conflict in Spokane County. The terrain transitions from the elevations of McDowell Hill in the west to the open expanse of Indian Prairie, reflecting a transition between basaltic plateaus and fertile agricultural lands. The community of Deep Creek and the neighboring settlements of Galena and Fairchild demonstrate a pattern of development influenced by both the natural watercourses of Coulee Creek and Spring Creek and more modern infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians can trace familial connections through the West Greenwood Cemetery located in the northwest corner. The map details an extensive network of rural roads, such as N Ritchey Rd and W Coulee Hite Rd, which delineate the section-line grids characteristic of Eastern Washington. This specific 2011 edition provides a precise view of these land divisions and historical landmarks before further suburban expansion from the nearby metropolitan areas.
