About this map

The Spokane River carves a dramatic path through this 2017 study, defining the urban and natural geography of Spokane. The river's power is showcased at Spokane Falls and the Upper Falls Reservoir, while its steep banks enclose neighborhoods like Peaceful Valley. To the west, the map details the transition from the city center to the plateau of Fivemile Prairie and the deep relief of Indian Canyon.

Institutional and commemorative history is well-represented, with extensive grounds at Fairmount Memorial Park, Riverside Memorial Park, and the Fort George Wright Cem. The northern expansion of the city is evident in the residential layouts of Town and Country and Country Homes. The region's transport and educational infrastructure is anchored by the BNSF Railway and major campuses including Gonzaga University and Spokane Falls Community College.
