Deep Creek is located along U.S. Route 2 in a rural area near the Lincoln County line.

The city of Airway Heights, which forms the westernmost suburb of the Spokane urban area, is located five miles to the east along U.S. 2.

At its peak, Deep Creek was home to multiple churches, businesses, a mill and a school which served more than 100 students.

Led by Paul S. Gross, who brought his family from Alberta,[6] the Hutterites purchased and leased more than 3,000 acres of farmland immediately north of the community.
