About this map

Indian Prairie and the sprawling expanse of Fairchild Air Force Base anchor this 1970s landscape west of Spokane. The terrain is marked by the deep incisions of Coulee Creek and the namesake Deep Creek, where the Spokane Battlefield State Park preserves a site of significant local conflict. The map reveals a transition from the structured military installation in the southeast to the agricultural and communal life of the plateau, evidenced by the Deep Creek Hutterite Sch and multiple rural schoolhouses like Blair Sch and Botteau Sch.

Tracing the path of the Burlington Northern railroad, the map captures the intersection of heavy infrastructure and heritage. Significant historical markers are present, including a Historical Monument (Site of Camp Washington) and the West Greenwood Cem. The settlement at Deep Creek and the nearby Grange Hall serve as focal points for the rural community amidst a network of gravel pits and sandpits that dot the coulees.
