1963 Map of Spokane

About this map

Lake St John dominates the landscape of this river-front region, its oxbow curve defining the boundary between established agricultural lands and the active Mississippi River. The map captures a moment in the mid-20th century where large-scale landholdings like Alabama Plantation and Delhi Plantation still anchor the local geography, alongside smaller community centers such as Spokane. The presence of several Oil Field sites and scattered Drill Holes suggests a transition toward resource extraction amidst the traditional delta farming.
