MT. SPOKANETHE INDEPENDENT MOUNTAIN ATLASOpen 3D map
About / An independent local project

A mountain worth knowing.

A detailed 3D look at Mt. Spokane: the shape of the land, the runs that bring people together, and the winter trails beyond the chairlifts.

Explore the 3D mountain

A real landform, with honest limits.

The terrain uses acquired elevation data at equal horizontal and vertical scale. Aerial imagery supplies geographic detail. Tree heights fit a canopy envelope derived from 2022 USGS LiDAR; individual tree positions and crowns are illustrative. The forest is not a surveyed tree inventory or a claim about current canopy conditions.

Snow, orange morning light, tree foliage and rendered lift structures are artistic presentation. The scene does not establish present snow cover, weather, grooming, lift operation or safe passage.

Measured terrain

Mapzen Terrain Tiles, including USGS 3DEP elevation contributions, form the land surface. The terrain is resampled and quantized for a browser-based 3D model.

Saved aerial imagery

USDA / USGS The National Map NAIP imagery supplies an acquired aerial mosaic. Source flight dates vary; winter color grading is visualization.

Community trail geometry

© OpenStreetMap contributors. Routes retain acquired coordinates and source uncertainty under the Open Database License. An area outline is not a run centerline, and missing winter routes are not invented.

Source-based canopy heights

Coarsened 2022 Northeast Washington USGS LiDAR constrains the modeled canopy. Cells without valid measurements are omitted; illustrative foliage and close-view tree templates remain separate from the measured height envelope.

LiDAR source metadata ↗

Official information, clearly attributed.

The operator’s published names and mountain facts are separate from community trail geometry. Official Nordic map ratings are retained where matched. The snow panel distinguishes source-update time from retrieval time, and camera media loads directly from its published provider.
