About this map

Four Lakes and the northern outskirts of Cheney anchor this southwestern Spokane County landscape, where the basalt-rimmed wetlands and channeled scablands meet aviation and transportation hubs. The terrain is characterized by prominent rises like Needham Hill and Wrights Hill, which overlook a network of seasonal water bodies including Spring Lake, Lake Eleanor, and Willow Lake. Transportation infrastructure dominates the central corridor, with the major thoroughfare of W Geiger Blvd connecting the industrial and logistical zones near Spokane International Airport and Fairchild AFB.

Local history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Marshall Cem and Green Mound Cem, while the natural history of the region is traced through the winding path of Minnie Creek. In the south, the Columbia Plateau State Park Trl follows an old rail grade past Fish Lake, offering a look at the transition from active industry to recreational use. The map captures the interface between the agricultural hamlet of Hayford and the expanding residential and commercial footprints of the West Plains.
