About this map

Spokane dominates this 2011 survey, showing the city's complex interface with the Spokane River and its dramatic falls. The central urban core is defined by landmark structures like The Flour Mill and industrial-era artifacts including the Monroe Street Dam and Park Powerhouse. The map provides excellent genealogical detail through a significant cluster of large memorial grounds on the western bluffs, including Fairmount Memorial Park, Greenwood Memorial Terrace, and Riverside Memorial Park, adjacent to the winding W Government Way.

Residential expansion is evident on the plateau of Fivemile Prairie to the north, while the city's academic footprint is anchored by Gonzaga University. Distinct neighborhoods such as Peaceful Valley and Indian Canyon illustrate how the city's development was shaped by the steep basalt canyons and watercourses like Hangman Creek and Garden Springs Creek. The intricate street grid of the South Hill is punctuated by the expansive greenery of Manito Park.
