About this map

Post Falls serves as the central hub of this northern Idaho landscape, where the Spokane River cuts a deep, winding path through the southern half of the quadrangle. The city's grid expands north toward the Rathdrum Prairie, showing a clear transition from the urban density of the city center to the wide, straight avenues like W Prairie Ave. To the west, the settlements of McGuire and Grand Junction occupy the flatlands, while Ross Point sits at a strategic bend in the river.

South of the river, the terrain shifts abruptly from the industrial and residential corridors of the valley to the significant elevations of Blossom Mtn and Shasta Butte. These mountain flanks are etched with drainages like Skalan Cr and Cougar Cr, illustrating the interface between the expanding riverside communities and the steep, undeveloped highlands. Water management is evident on the prairie through the Hy-Line Ditch, a vital piece of infrastructure for this arid region.
