2017 Map of Nine Mile Falls

About this map

Nine Mile Falls marks a significant hydrological and community center along the border of Spokane and Stevens counties. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Little Spokane River and the waters of Nine Mile Reservoir, which feed into the eastern reaches of Long Lake. This 2017 survey details the complex terrain of the region, from the broad, open expanse of Wild Rose Prairie in the northeast to the steep-walled Barney Coker Canyon and Holmes Canyon to the west. Local landforms like Lookout Mtn and Pine Bluff provide topographical focal points amidst a network of rural roads such as W Ridgeway Rd and W Whitmore Rd. The map illustrates how residential development and recreation centers around the river system, contrasting with the more secluded draws of Little Sandy Canyon and Sandy Canyon north of the reservoir.
