About this map

Moran Prairie and Glenrose Prairie define the transition from the expanding city of Spokane to the higher elevations of the southeast. The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks like Browne Mtn, Krell Hill, and Silver Hill, which overlook the developing suburban fringe and remaining open spaces. The map reveals a dense network of residential streets in the northwest, contrasting with the more dispersed rural routes and homesteads near the Chester area and the southern reaches near Duncan.

Watercourses such as Hangman Creek and Stevens Cr drain these highlands, while local history is marked by the presence of the Moran Cem and the Wood Memorial Cem. The southeastern corner of the quadrangle showcases a shift toward more open terrain, including Hangman Valley, illustrating the geographical boundary between the urban valley floor and the high-relief basalt plateaus and hills that separate the city from the Palouse to the south.
