About this map

Ford serves as a central point in this eastern Washington landscape, where the confluence of several vital watercourses including Chamokane Creek, Tshimakain Creek, and Mission Creek defines the local topography. To the north and west, the boundary of the Spokane Indian Reservation encompasses high ground and drainages like Thomas Creek and Sams Creek.

The presence of the Dawn Mine Tailings Pond and the associated Dawn Mine Tailing Pond Area Three Dam southeast of the main settlement indicates the area's industrial legacy. Significant family and local landmarks are preserved in the nomenclature, from the open expanse of Walkers Prairie to the Pleasant View Cemetery. Narrow routes such as Corkscrew Canyon Rd and Happy Hill Rd wind through the varied terrain of Happy Hill and Bishop Canyon, illustrating the rural transportation network established in this part of Stevens County.
