About this map

The Spokane River carves a dramatic path through this 1970s landscape, dominated by the waters of Long Lake. This reservoir, maintained at an elevation of 1534 feet, is controlled by the Long Lake Dam near Devils Gap. The map details a complex intersection of three counties—Stevens, Lincoln, and Spokane—meeting along the river's winding course. North of the main channel, the Chamokane Creek flows past Chamokane Falls and a Gaging Station, illustrating the region's managed water resources.

Industrial and rural infrastructure is evident in the numerous gravel and borrow pits scattered across the plateau. The small settlement of Crescent sits atop the southern highlands, connected by a network of named local roads like Carstens Rd and Farwell Road. Near the eastern bend, natural landmarks like Horseshoe Lake and the steep Corkscrew Canyon with its associated Corkscrew Spring provide a sharp contrast to the engineered shoreline of the reservoir.
