1981 Map of Post Falls

About this map

The Spokane River carves through the center of this landscape, separating the industrial and residential growth of Post Falls from the steep, timbered slopes of Blossom Mountain. In the early 1980s, the community's transition is evident in the infrastructure clustered near the river, including a Powerhouse, Gaging Station, and Boat Ramp at Black Bay. To the north, the expanse of the Rathdrum Prairie is defined by a grid of agricultural and transport corridors, where the Burlington Northern and Spokane International railroads intersect near Grand Junction. Local civic life is well-documented through markers like the Evergreen Cemetery, Seltice Sch, and the McGuire-Wesleyan Church in the small settlement of McGuire. The emergence of Interstate 90 underscores the area's increasing connectivity between regional hubs during this era.
