2017 Map of Mead

About this map

Mead, Colbert, and Buckeye anchor this landscape where the high plateaus of Orchard Bluff and Green Bluff overlook the expansive agricultural flats of Peone Prairie and Valley Prairie. The drainage of the Little Spokane River carves through the western edge of the quadrangle, spanned by local landmarks like the Little Spokane Drive Bridge and Colbert Road Bridge. This topography creates a distinct separation between the upland orchards and the lowland prairie settlements, a pattern reflected in the concentration of local infrastructure such as the Peone Cem and Mead Flying Service. The water network, including Deadman Cr and Little Deep Cr, defines the natural boundaries and agricultural potential of the region during the early 21st century.
