1950 Map of Spokane

About this map

Spokane River serves as the industrial and logistical spine for this mid-century portrait of Eastern Washington's urban hub. The cityscape is defined by a dense network of major railways, including the Great Northern RR and Northern Pacific RR, which converge near Spokane and the heavy industrial corridor through Hillyard. To the east, the sprawling growth of Dishman and Millwood follows the river valley, where landmarks like Felts Field and an Oil Refinery signal the era's economic expansion.
