About this map

Four Mound Prairie and the surrounding wheatlands west of Spokane reveal a landscape defined by its agricultural roots and military presence during the mid-to-late 20th century. At the southern edge of the map, the extensive layout of Fairchild Air Force Base stands in stark contrast to the rural sections to the north, which are dotted with educational and social landmarks like the Deep Creek Hutterite Sch and Grange Hall.

The area is anchored by the Deep Creek settlement and the Spokane Battlefield State Park, preserving a site of regional historical significance. Local genealogy and history researchers can trace the movement of early residents through features like the West Greenwood Cem and several school sites, including Indian Prairie Sch. The Burlington Northern railroad corridor and local water features like Coulee Hite Creek shape the distribution of these small communities across the plateau.
