About this map

Post Falls sits as the central hub of this 2020 landscape, where the northern expanse of the Rathdrum Prairie meets the southern high ground of Blossom Mtn and Shasta Butte. The Spokane River carves a critical path through the center, defining the local geography with features like Black Bay and the prominent Ford Rock. This modern survey illustrates a complex transition from the industrial and transport corridor near the Union Pacific RR to the more varied terrain of the southern foothills.

Smaller settlements and neighborhood landmarks such as McGuire, Grand Junction, and Ross Point help delineate the historical growth patterns outside the main city center. Genealogists and local historians can use the map to identify specific locations like Evergreen Cem or trace the drainage paths of Cedar Cr and Lenz Cr as they flow toward the river. The contrast between the flat prairie to the north and the rising elevations of Rich Hill to the south provides a clear picture of the region's environmental character.
