1953 Map of Wellpinit

About this map

The Spokane Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape, centered on the community of Wellpinit. The geography is defined by the sharp descent from high timbered terrain like Round Mtn and Sherwood Lookout toward the southern boundary formed by the Spokane River. Along the river’s course, the transition from moving water to the still reaches of Long Lake is marked by Little Falls, reflecting the area's hydroelectric and hydraulic character.
