About this map

Fishtrap Lake and its corresponding Fishtrap Lake Dam dominate the central topography of this Spokane County landscape. The area is characterized by a series of elongated water bodies and drainage systems, including Hog Lake, Clear Lake, and Mason Lake, which follow the distinct northeast-to-southwest orientation of the regional basalt scablands. Small settlements and named locations such as Kline, Mason, Croskey, and Rodna are linked by a network of rural routes like Croskey Rd and S Falk Rd.

Geographic landmarks provide local character, from the rise of Watermelon Hill in the west to the depressions of Hog Canyon and Owens Meadow. The map documents the intricate hydrography of the Channeled Scablands, where Hog Canyon Creek, Damage Creek, and Negro Creek navigate the rocky terrain. This 2011 survey serves as a detailed record of land use and water management in a portion of Washington defined by its glacial heritage.
