1997 Map of Spanaway

Settlement patterns cluster around the communities of Spanaway, Loveland, and Elk Plain, where numerous schools such as Bethel High Sch and Shining Mtn Sch reflect the area's late-century development. Genealogists will find interest in several burial sites, including Fir Lane Memorial Park (Cem) and the Henry Smith Cemetery. The southern reaches of the map transition into the open lands along Muck Creek and South Creek, where the Pipeline and various gravel pits speak to the local industrial infrastructure.
