2023 Map of Fishtrap Lake

About this map

Hog Canyon Creek and Negro Creek carve through this landscape at the intersection of Lincoln, Spokane, and Whitman counties. This corner of the Channeled Scablands is defined by its drainage patterns and small water bodies like Downs Lake and Clear Lake, reflecting the unique geological history of the region. The modern cartography highlights the Columbia Plateau State Park Trl, which follows a long-standing transportation corridor through the settlements of Croskey and Rodna. These small communities and the network of rural roads, such as Lake Valley Loop Rd and Sprague Hwy Rd E, illustrate the persistent agricultural and transit patterns of eastern Washington. Named landmarks like Watermelon Hill and Owens Meadow provide specific points of reference for local historians and genealogists tracking family landholdings in the tri-county area.
