About this map

Mt Spokane State Park dominates this 1950s study of the high country straddling the Washington and Idaho border. The topography, mapped via plane-table methods in 1939 and revised in 1950, shows the prominence of Mt Spokane and its neighboring peaks like Mt Carson and Quartz Mtn. This area serves as a primary watershed, with the North Fork Blanchard Creek and Deadman Creek radiating from the central massif.

South of the mountain peaks, the landscape shifts toward the lowland basins of Newman Lake and Hauser Lake. These water bodies are surrounded by localized points of interest such as the Hauser Lake Sch and Inland Grange. The presence of scattered rural institutions, including the Kit Carson School and Independent Sch, reflects the dispersed settlement patterns of the mid-century inland northwest before later residential expansion altered the rural character of the Foothills area.
