NPS Form 10-900-a MB No. 1024-0018 (1993) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page _1_ Name of Property Spokane Valley Land and Water Co. Canal County and State Kootenai County. Idaho___________ The Spokane Valley Land and Water Company Canal diverts from the Spokane River in Post Falls, Idaho, and runs in a westerly direction for approximately two-and-a-half miles. It is all that remains of a much longer system that originally crossed the Idaho border into eastern Washington to irrigate thousands of acres of farmland. The remaining segments include two headgates, a waste way, and two stretches of the canal, all of which contribute to the significance of the resource. Most of the canal is lined in concrete, with much of the remainder running through bedrock. The canal retains its integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, and association. A segment of approximately three-quarters of a mile has been deeded to adjacent landowners, some of whom have filled in the ditch; this segment is not included in the nomination.
