About this map

Upper Pittsburg Landing and the adjacent Pittsburg Landing serve as critical points of access to the Snake River in this section of the Snake River Canyon. The landscape is defined by its ranching and grazing history, evidenced by numerous historical sites such as Crooks Corral, Dixon Corrals, and Kirkwood Corrals. Settlement patterns follow the rugged topography, with family-named operations like the Davis Ranch, Calvin Ranch, and Henry Baker Ranch established near essential water sources like China Creek and Kirkwood Creek.

Remote seasonal outposts including the Dixon Cow Camp, Kirkwood Cow Camp, and Cold Springs Cow Camp are scattered across high ridges like Phillips Ridge and Robertson Ridge. Notable landmarks like Harlin Mill and Riddle Lodge suggest a mix of local industry and river-based activity. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes from the river bars, such as Kirby Bar and Yankee Bar, up to the heights of Triangle Mountain and the Cold Springs Mountains.
