1950 Map of Spokane SE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Moran Prairie serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, where suburban expansion from Spokane meets the established agricultural character of the Palouse. The map records a transition in land use, documented by the presence of a landing strip, numerous radio towers like those of Kxly, and the community gathering point at the Grange Hall. This era of development is overlaid on a network of small, scattered settlements such as Kiesling, Sharon, and Excelsior, many of which were tied to the Great Northern and C M ST P & P rail lines. The topography is dominated by Browne Mtn and Krell Hill, with drainage provided by the winding Latah Creek and California Creek. For genealogists, the map preserves specific locations for the Moran Cem and Wood Memorial Cemetery, along with rural school sites including Sunnyside Sch and Adams Sch.
