1901 Map of Spokane

About this map

Spokane serves as the industrial heart of this landscape at the dawn of the 20th century, where a complex network of railroads like the Spokane Falls and Northern and Great Northern converge along the Spokane River. The city's footprint is dense with the burgeoning neighborhoods of Hillyard and Lidgerwood, while the surrounding terrain is defined by elevated plateaus including Fivemile Prairie and Peone Prairie. To the west, the military presence of Fort Wright overlooks the river's bends, anchoring the region's strategic importance during this era of western expansion.
