1944 Map of Wellpinit

About this map

The Spokane Indian Reservation occupies much of this landscape, centered on the community of Wellpinit during the early 1940s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Spokane River, which forms the southern boundary and widens into Long Lake. The map details a transition between wilderness and industry, showing the Deer Park Logging Camp in the northern heights near Round Mtn and the State Fish Hatchery along the river. Institutional and community life is anchored by locations like Reservation Sch and St Joseph Ch. Hydroelectric development and water management are evident at Little Falls and Little Chamokane Falls, while a network of rural routes including Drum Road and Kelley Road connect remote settlements like Ford.
