About this map

The West Branch Little Spokane River anchors a chain of glacial water bodies, creating a landscape defined by hydrology and recreational land use. At the center of this network lies Fan Lake, home to the regional landmark Camp Reed. The river continues southward through Spring Meadow toward the northern tip of Eloika Lake, where the small settlement of Sandy Beach is situated. These areas represent a distinct pattern of seasonal and residential growth centered around the river corridor.

Upland features provide a contrast to the valley floor, most notably at Porcupine Pass and the higher elevations around Trout Lake and Lost Lake. Infrastructure like the Ponderosa Lake Dam on Ponderosa Lake indicates a history of water management. The road network, including Horseshoe Lake Rd and Garden Spot Rd, connects these waters—such as Horseshoe Lake, Blue Lake, and Black Lake—to the surrounding timber and meadow lands.
