About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of the Spokane Valley is captured here just after the war, showing a region defined by complex rail networks and military-industrial expansion. The Naval Supply Depot and the adjacent Aluminum Rolling Mill dominate the terrain near Trentwood, signaling the area's strategic importance during and after the conflict. This development is set against a backdrop of established rural life, evidenced by many small settlements like Otis Orchards, Opportunity, and Greenacres.

Transitioning from the valley floor to the uplands, the topography rises toward Antoine Peak and Mica Peak. Local history is preserved in the numerous cemeteries and religious sites, such as The Pines Cem and St Josephs Church, while the recreation potential of Liberty Lake is clearly visible. The map also records early aviation infrastructure at Leman Airpark and the intricate flow of irrigation via the canal systems serving the Saltese Flats.
