At Molter the border shifts south to Interstate-90, which it follows to within a mile of the Idaho state line. Sprague Avenue marks the southern portion of the city limits in the east to Liberty Lake Road, from which it zig-zags west to Appleway Road at Hodges. The lake itself is located outside of the city limits about three blocks south of Sprague.<ref name="CityMap">{{cite web |title=City Boundary Map |url=https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ht-bin/tv_browse.pl?id=8f2d134f8c58b08225290acf1c42e715 |website=libertylakewa.gov |publisher=City of Liberty Lake |access-date=June 21, 2022}}</ref>

Liberty Lake is one of the fastest-growing communities in the State of Washington. Liberty Lake is south of the Spokane River from [[Otis Orchards-East Farms, Washington]], east of [[Greenacres, Washington]] (now part of [[Spokane Valley, Washington]]), and west of [[Spokane Bridge, Washington]], [[State Line, Idaho]], and [[Post Falls, Idaho]].

Areas east of Liberty Lake Road and areas north of Appleway Road lie on the relatively flat land along the floor of the Spokane Valley. Elevations there range from between 2,000 feet above sea level at the river to around 2,150 feet around Liberty Lake Elementary School. The areas west of Liberty Lake Road and south of Appleway Road show far more topographical relief, rising from around 2,100 feet to over 2,600 feet on Carlson Hill. Kramer Hill, which rises just beyond the eastern limit of the city, quickly rises to above 2,700 feet. While [[Mica Peak]], which rises beyond the southern shore of the lake, climbs to nearly 5,200 feet.<ref name="LLQuad">{{cite web |title=Liberty Lake Quadrangle |url=https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ht-bin/tv_browse.pl?id=8f2d134f8c58b08225290acf1c42e715 |website=usgs.gov |publisher=U.S. Geological Survey |access-date=21 June 2022}}</ref><ref name="MPQuad">{{cite web |title=Mica Peak Quadrangle |url=https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ht-bin/tv_browse.pl?id=2528b6ff5a2b4112e3be8e90ff7929ef |website=usgs.gov |publisher=U.S. Geological Survey |access-date=21 June 2022}}</ref>
