About this map

Spokane River defines the central geography of this valley as it flows westward through a landscape rapidly transitioning from agricultural use to industrial and suburban development. The northern section is dominated by the high ground of Antoine Peak and the expanse of Pleasant Prairie, while the valley floor below exhibits the massive footprint of the Spokane Industrial Park at Velox. Historically significant sites like the Antoine Plante Ferry Site Park sit near modern additions like the Inland Empire Zoo.

The southern half of the map shows the dense residential grids of Opportunity, Veradale, and Greenacres, supported by an extensive network of schools including Central Valley High Sch and North Pines Jr High Sch. The rail infrastructure is well-defined by the Burlington Northern tracks and Spokane International line, tracing the economic arteries that shaped the Spokane Valley. On the southern fringe, the terrain transitions into the seasonal wetlands of Saltese Flats near Carlson Hill.
