1973 Map of Foothills

About this map

The sprawling eastern foothills of the Selkirk Mountains define this landscape, dominated by the southern boundary of Mt Spokane State Park. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Deep Creek and Deadman Creek, which flow toward the small community of Peone. Local development is clustered along the southern and western edges, where the settlement of Foothills sits near the Fire Station. The map illustrates a network of rural routes that follow the natural topography, including Kronquist Road and Madison Road. Industrial and utility footprints are visible through the Green Bluff Substation and several labeled Borrow Pit locations. High elevations are marked by the Mt Spokane Fire Station and the start of several primitive Jeep Trails that penetrate the high country near Bill Gulch.
