About this map

Spangle serves as the primary hub in this corner of Spokane County, where the Burlington Northern railroad lines run parallel to the local creek systems. The landscape transitions from the agricultural flats near Pine Grove Road and the Pine Grove PO to the complex wetlands and basalt-influenced terrain of the Turnbull Nat Wildlife Refuge. Water dominates the western portion of the sheet, defined by Philleo Lake and Stubblefield Lake, which sit amidst a network of scabland depressions and seasonal pools.

Local history is preserved at the Historical Monument and the village Cem just south of the main settlement. The road network, including Cheney Spangle Road and Depot Road, reflects a long-standing rural infrastructure connecting outlying farms and grain storage facilities like the numerous Storage Bins to the rail corridor. This 1980 revision integrates field data from the 1950s with updated aerial photography to show a landscape of enduring rural character.
