About this map

Four Mound Prairie characterizes this portion of Spokane County, where the high flatland drops away toward the Spokane River. In this early 21st-century landscape, the transition from the prairie down to the water is marked by distinctive geological features like Eagle Rock and the elevations of Mount Godfrey. The river itself expands into significant bodies of water including Long Lake and Knight Lake, which define the northern and eastern boundaries of the area.

A network of local roads, such as N Ritchey Rd and W Four Mound Rd, grid the agricultural and residential landscape, providing access to smaller water bodies like Davis Lake and Woods Lake. This topographical record shows a region defined by its hydrology and basalt-rimmed canyons, like Holmes Canyon, where the rugged geography of the Inland Northwest dictates the placement of modern homesteads and rural lanes.
