About this map

Mt Spokane State Park dominates this Spokane County landscape, characterized by high-elevation peaks and an intricate network of specialized routes including Jeep Trails and Pack Trails. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Mt Kit Carson, Day Mountain, and Beauty Mtn, with the deep drainage of Blanchard Creek and Deer Creek cutting through the slopes.

Evidence of early land use and local enterprise is scattered throughout the area, from the Grange Hall in the northwest to the Daybreak Mine and other unnamed Mines tucked into the ridges. High-altitude landmarks like Smith Gap and Blanchard Hump provide specific navigational points for those tracing historical property boundaries or recreational development. The presence of the Mt St Charles Ranch suggests a era of upland agricultural or ranching activity even as the park boundaries expanded.
