Soil mapping and data collection were conducted using a mix of traditional methods and new technologies. Although the soils have not changed in the last 40 years, shifts in land use and management, advancement of soil science, research and technology and an increased demand from customers for current and accurate soil information have dictated the need for up to date soil data and interpretations. The updated survey is an extensive revision that will replace the current Spokane County publication released in 1968 that was based on field work from 1955 through 1961 with an agricultural interpretive focus. The soil survey area encompasses over 1.1 million acres of agricultural, forest, some range and urban lands within three Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA) 9 - Palouse and Nez Perce Prairies, 44A - Northern Rocky Mountain Valleys and 43A - Northern Rocky Mountains.

They have sculpted the basalt plateau by scouring and depositing soil material along the way, leaving in their wake, a wide swath of unique features, called the channeled scablands. Multiple flood events from glacial Lake Missoula have made their mark in Spokane County. The river having carved its path through the basalt is flanked above by outwash terraces and plains in the valleys to the north and the loess covered and scoured basalt plateau to the south. The county is divided in two parts by the Spokane River flowing east to west, eventually joining the Columbia River. T he features and soils seen now are the result of past cataclysmic events of floods, uplift (mountain building) and volcanic activity. One way to describe Spokane County is by the major, unique landscapes and landforms and past geologic processes.
