2014 Map of Spokane NW

About this map

Spokane is documented here during a period of sustained urban development, where the Spokane River shapes the city's identity through industrial landmarks like The Flour Mill and the power-generating sites of Havermale Island. The landscape transitions from the dense street grids of West Spokane to the elevated suburban plateaus of Fivemile Prairie and Country Homes. This 2014 survey reveals a significant concentration of memorial and educational institutions, from the sprawling grounds of Fairmount Memorial Park and Greenwood Memorial Terrace to the campuses of Gonzaga Univ and Spokane Falls Community Coll. The rail infrastructure remains a central feature of the local economy, with the BNSF Railway corridor cutting through the heart of the city near the Upper Falls Reservoir. Natural and recreational spaces such as Manito Park and the Downriver Municipal Golf Course are integrated into the urban fabric, while Hangman Creek and Indian Canyon mark the rugged western edges of the city's reach.
