2017 Map of Ping

About this map

Penawawa and Ping occupy a landscape defined by the deep incision of the Snake River through the plateau. In this 2017 survey, the river is shown as Lake Bryan, a reservoir that has altered the original shoreline while leaving historical river features like Penawawa Bar, Rice Bar, and Swift Bar as prominent landmarks. The map illustrates the steep, technical road engineering required for the region, most notably seen at Fincher Grade and Bratcher Grade Rd, which descend from the high wheat-growing ridges down into the canyon floor.
