1973 Map of Four Mound Prairie

About this map

Four Mound Prairie occupies a wide bench above the Spokane River, where the river broadens into a reservoir controlled by Washington Water Power Co. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the flat agricultural plateau of the prairie to the steep, wooded coulees and basalt outcrops like Eagle Rock and Corkscrew that drop toward the water's edge. This 1973 survey shows a rural community structure centered around Central Sch and the Four Mound Fire Station, connected by a network of gravel roads such as Ritchey Road and Four Mound Road. Several small water bodies, including Knight Lake, Davis Lake, and Woods Lake, dot the southern and central terrain, illustrating the glacial and volcanic history that shaped the topography of the Stevens and Spokane County border.
