1980 Map of Spring Valley

About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of eastern Washington is defined here by the winding course of North Pine Creek and the legacy of the Pacific Northwest rail network. This survey, revised in the late 1970s, captures the rural intersection of Spokane and Whitman counties just before significant changes in regional rail operations. The settlement of North Pine serves as a focal point along the Burlington Northern corridor, illustrating the area's historical reliance on rail for transporting the region's grain and timber. The terrain is marked by numerous gravel pits and small water bodies like Muskwat Lake, reflecting a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and local resource extraction.
