1948 Map of Lincoln

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation and Spokane Indian Reservation meet at the confluence of the Columbia River and Spokane River, dominated by the recently created Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. This 1948 survey reflects a landscape transformed by the Coulee Dam project, showing the new water levels as they reached into deep canyons like Halverson Canyon and Bean Canyon. Settlement centers are concentrated at Lincoln, Enterprise, and Miles, providing a window into the rural life of eastern Washington just after the war. Local landmarks such as Fort Spokane stand as historical anchors near the river junction, while smaller community features like the Rothlisburg Sch, Enterprise Sch, and Swede Ch on Swede Flats document the social geography of the era. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Johnny George Mtn and Jim Mtn down to the agricultural expanses of Bachelor Prairie.
