2020 Map of Spangle West

About this map

Spangle anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the basalt-rimmed scablands of eastern Washington meet the rolling agricultural plateaus of Spokane County. The terrain is defined by dramatic depressions and drainage patterns, including Philleo Lake and Hansens Pond, which sit among the coulees west of the town center. The rural character of the area is emphasized by dispersed settlements like Dynamite to the north and Freedom at the southern boundary. Local transit and aviation are represented by the corridor of Highway 195 and the presence of Paradise Air Ranch. Genealogists and local historians will find the Spangle Cem situated south of the main township, while the winding course of Spangle Cr illustrates the natural hydrology that likely influenced early land use and property boundaries throughout the region.
