About this map

Post Falls and its surrounding Kootenai County landscape are anchored by the Spokane River, which winds through the center of this 2010 survey. The city's residential growth is evident in the dense street grid north of the river, while the Post Falls Dam and Ford Rock mark significant points along the waterway. Beyond the urban center, the map reveals a transition into more specialized and rural land uses, including the Otterson Ranch Airport to the northwest and the Ross Point Bird Farm near Ross Point to the east.

To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Blossom Mountain and Shasta Butte, where the landscape is defined by the drainages of Cougar Creek and Cedar Creek. This southern portion of the quadrangle remains largely undeveloped compared to the northern plains, offering a clear view of the natural topography that hemmed in the early development of Grand Junction and McGuire. Local history is well-represented by landmarks such as Evergreen Cemetery and the Cloverleaf Grange.
