About this map

Spokane and its northern suburbs are defined by the winding course of the Spokane River, where the dramatic drop of the Spokane Falls once powered the city's early industrial growth. The landscape transitions from the urban core and the Spokane County Courthouse to the elevated residential plateaus of Fivemile Prairie and Country Homes. This modern survey details the city's established park system, including the central Riverfront Park on Havermale Island and the expansive Manito Park to the south.

Large institutional footprints such as Fort George Wright, now home to Spokane Falls Community College, and Gonzaga University occupy significant reaches along the riverbanks. The western edge of the city is notable for a concentration of major interment sites, including Fairmount Memorial Park, Greenwood Memorial Terrace Cem, and Riverside Memorial Park, which together preserve the region's genealogical history. Transportation corridors remain central to the area's layout, with the BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad threading through the river canyon and industrial zones.
