About this map

Fort Spokane and the confluence of the Columbia and Spokane rivers define this landscape, where the waters of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake meet the Spokane River Arm. This area within the Spokane Indian Reservation features a mix of rugged geological formations and small settlements like Miles and Crystal City. The topography is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Mitre Rock and Castle Rock, while numerous canyons and draws like Denison Canyon and Sallie Draw carve into the terrain.

Transportation through the region is facilitated by the Fort Spokane Bridge, connecting historical sites with modern rural routes. Local-history interest is found in family-named features and landmarks like Swede Flats, Bockemuehl Canyon, and Jackson Spring. The map documents a sparsely populated area where land use is dictated by the river systems and the boundaries of the reservation, providing a clear record of the geographic relationship between the water and the land.
