2023 Map of Four Mound Prairie

About this map

Suncrest sits on the high eastern banks of the Spokane River in this modern survey of the borderlands between Stevens and Spokane counties. The landscape is defined by the dramatic winding corridor of Long Lake, where the river broadens between steep canyon walls and points such as Eagle Rock and West Point. Away from the water, the terrain transitions into the namesake Four Mound Prairie, a distinct level plateau dotted with small water bodies like Knight Lake and Woods Lake. This area reflects a shift from the dense, residential development of the riverfront communities to the more open agricultural and aviation uses of the interior, exemplified by the private Tightcliff Airport. The intricate network of local roads, such as Corkscrew Dr and Lakeview Dr, illustrates the residential expansion along the ridge lines overlooking Holmes Canyon and the river valley below.
