About this map

Peone and the surrounding drainage of Deadman Cr dominate this 2017 landscape northeast of Spokane, where rural development meets the rising terrain of the Selkirk foothills. The map documents a network of named country roads and private drives that crisscross the area, such as N Mount Carlton Rd and E Foothills Rd, serving local residences and small-scale agriculture. This modern survey reflects the transition from the flat agricultural plains of the Spokane Valley into the forested elevations near Big Meadows.

Tracing the path of Peone Cr through the settlement of Foothills, the map shows how water and topography have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and infrastructure. The eastern portion of the sheet is defined by the steep grades of Canfield Gulch and the headwaters of Newman Cr, illustrating the interface between inhabited valleys and the more sparsely populated mountain slopes to the north and east.
