About this map

The town of Reardan anchors this portion of the Inland Empire, situated along the border of Lincoln and Spokane Counties. The landscape is defined by the unique geological transitions of the Channeled Scablands, where prominent features like Shoemaker Butte and Grays Butte rise above the surrounding plateau. A complex network of drainage is visible, featuring the steep Spring Creek Canyon and the winding paths of N Fork Deep Cr and S Fork Deep Cr, which carve through the volcanic basalt terrain.

Agricultural heritage is evident in the dense grid of rural roads and the presence of the Spring Creek Cem and the former stop of Hite. This modern survey records the infrastructure of the wheat-growing region, including the Sunset Highway Bridge crossing the deep creek beds. The map provides a clear view of how transportation routes like Brommer Rd and W Sprague Rd adapt to the undulating topography of the Palouse's edge.
