2011 Map of Spangle East

About this map

Hangman Creek and Rock Creek define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape in Spokane County, carving through the terrain near Courtney Canyon. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a region dominated by a lattice of named county roads that follow the section lines and natural contours, such as S Forsland Rd and S Beyers Rd. The area retains a distinctly agricultural character, punctuated by landmarks like Spangle Field in the west. Local genealogists and historians can trace family-named thoroughfares including E Heaton Rd, S Cahill Rd, and E Fleming Rd, which provide evidence of long-standing property divisions and rural settlement patterns. The map also captures the path of S North Kentuck Trails Rd, illustrating the intersection of modern transportation with historic trail routes in eastern Washington.
