About this map

Hangman Creek carves a deep valley through the eastern portion of this landscape, creating a dramatic corridor for both natural drainage and transportation. The southwestern outskirts of Spokane are characterized by a mix of established residential pockets like Geiger Heights and Moran Prairie, interspersed with specialized aviation infrastructure. Numerous small airfields, including Ox Meadows Airport, Mullan Hill Airport, and Fowlers North-West 40 Airport, highlight the region's historical and contemporary connection to light aircraft and private pilots.

The small settlement of Marshall serves as a western anchor, positioned near the junction of Marshall Cr and the rail-aligned S Cheney Spokane Rd. Land use transitions from the more developed city edges to the rolling terrain near Rosa Butte and the peaceful grounds of the Spokane Memorial Gardens Cem. This survey reveals the structured grid of rural roads, such as S Abbott Rd and W Thorpe RD, as they navigate the plateau and valleys southwest of the city.
