1963 Map of Spokane SW

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The southern suburbs of Spokane and the rural transition into the Moran Prairie are documented in this early 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent into the Hangman Creek valley and the industrial corridor centered on Marshall, where several major rail lines converge, including the Seattle Portland and Spokane and the Northern Pacific. Residential expansion is evident in the residential clusters at Geiger Heights and along the city's Corporate Boundary, supported by new institutions like Sacajawea Jr High Sch and Our Lady of Fatima Sch. Outside the city limits, the terrain remains largely agricultural and open, dotted with local landmarks such as Glenora Ch and the Northwest Memorial Garden (Cemetery). This era of development is marked by the presence of numerous broadcasting sites, including Radio Towers (KNEW) and the Radio Tower (KPEG), signaling the region's growing communications infrastructure.
