About this map

Spokane Valley transitions into the hills and agricultural plateaus southeast of the city, where the landscape is defined by small rural hubs and historical burial grounds. The community of Chester sits near the Chester Community Cem, while the road network connects the distinct settlements of Mica, Valleyford, and Freeman. These small towns follow the natural corridors of California Creek and Cottonwood Creek, reflecting a land use pattern rooted in farming and local service.

Genealogists will find notable value in the location of Mica Cem and Evergreen Cem tucked between the drainages. Further east, the terrain opens into Saltese Flats and the high ridges near Manito, while the Sky Meadows Airpark introduces a modern aviation element to this otherwise traditional rural landscape. The grid of country roads, including the E Palouse Hwy, provides a clear view of how these independent communities maintain their identity on the outskirts of the metropolitan area.
