1950 Map of Spokane

About this map

The Spokane River serves as the industrial and geographic anchor of this mid-century landscape, where massive rail yards and sprawling educational campuses define the urban core. The dominance of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads is evident, servicing the Magnesium Plant and the growing suburbs of Hillyard and Dishman. To the north and south, the transition from city to agricultural plateaus is marked by institutional landmarks like the Mt St Michael Scholasticate on Orchard Prairie and the Holy Cross Cem near Country Homes.
