About this map

Deer Park serves as the primary hub of this 1951 landscape, centered north of Spokane and characterized by its sprawling agricultural prairies. The region is defined by distinct geographic plateaus including Wild Rose Prairie, Half Moon Prairie, and Peone Prairie. Notable industrial and infrastructure developments of the era are evident, such as the large Aluminum Reduction Plant near Mead and the Deer Park Municipal Airport.

Transit networks of the Great Northern and Spokane International RR follow the natural corridors created by water bodies like the Little Spokane River and Dragoon Creek. Local social centers are anchored by several grange halls, rural schools like Riverside HS, and family-named cemeteries such as Kelly Cem and Milan Cem, providing a detailed look at the settlement patterns of Spokane County just after mid-century.
