1950 Map of Spokane SE

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Moran Prairie and the transition from the city of Spokane into the rolling highlands of southeastern Spokane County define this landscape in the early 1950s. The map illustrates a period when radio infrastructure was highly visible, marked by the KHQ Radio Towers, KREM Radio Towers, and KXLY Radio Tower grouped near the city limits. Moving south, the terrain rises toward Browne Mtn and Krell Hill, while the valley floors are carved by Latah Cr and California Creek. Small, dispersed settlements like Kiesling, Sharon, and Belair sit along the winding path of the Palouse Highway, which served as a primary artery before modern interstate developments. Local life is anchored by rural institutions such as the Sunnyside Sch and the Grange Hall, alongside transport nodes like the Great Northern railroad line.
