1978 Map of Liberty Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Liberty Lake and the winding course of the Spokane River define the terrain of this 1978 orthophotoquad, captured at a moment of significant suburban expansion between Washington and Idaho. The aerial imagery, processed by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources, reveals the distinct grid patterns of developing residential tracts and agricultural fields. The small settlement of Moab sits at a strategic crossing point of transportation corridors, while the eponymous Liberty Lake serves as a clear focal point for local settlement. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this orthophotograph preserves the exact visual state of the landscape, showing individual woodlots, orchards, and the precise shoreline of the lake during the late 1970s. This provides a rare visual record for tracing property boundaries and land-use shifts in the Inland Northwest.
