THE GEOGRAPHY OF PLACE AND LANDSCAPE FORMATION: HIGH BAR, HELLS CANYON, IDAHO.

- Abstract
High Bar, a place at the north end of the deepest canyon bottom landscape in North America, Hells Canyon, uniquely combines a dynamically formed and evolving physical structure with cultural patterns and processes. The physical forms and processes have been mapped, described and analyzed in a relationship to known, and newly discovered, cultural forms and process. This place-scale analysis is arrayed and evaluated in the context of the larger canyon bottom landscape, revealing thereby the distinctiveness of High Bar as a cultural place. Importantly, physical structure and process forms the spatial and analytical basis for the creation, persistence, and interpretation of High Bar. it serves as one possible example of how place-scale analysis contributes to the understanding of patterns of human activity in Hells Canyon: from prehistoric Clovis people to the present day occupants.
