2023 Map of Reardan East

About this map

The town of Reardan sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, marking the transition from the high wheat-growing plateaus of Lincoln County into the drainage systems of Spokane County. This area is defined by the Lincoln Co Spokane Co boundary and a series of prominent volcanic landforms, including Shoemaker Butte and Grays Butte. These elevations overlook the winding Spring Creek Canyon and the headwaters of Coulee Creek, creating a varied topography that dictated early settlement patterns and road placements. Genealogists and local researchers can identify early community hubs through landmarks like Spring Creek Cem and Reardan Cem, alongside the Spring Creek Grange RD E, which reflects the region's agricultural heritage. The map also traces the distinct paths of the North Fork Deep Creek and South Fork Deep Creek, highlighting the critical water sources that supported the small settlement of Hite and surrounding farmsteads.
