About this map

Belfry sits along the eastern edge of this landscape, a settlement defined by its proximity to the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River and the complex irrigation systems supporting local agriculture. A network of man-made waterways, including Shupak Ditch, Higham Ditch, and Golden Ditch, diverts water across the terrain to sustain the valley. The map documents the confluence of Bear Creek and the main river just south of the town center, where the Po and Vaill Ave mark the local hub.

To the west, the land rises into a series of drainages and topographical features such as Larkin Coulee and the branching forks of Dry Creek. These natural watercourses, including North Fork Dry Creek and South Fork Dry Creek, contrast with the engineered ponds like Shupak Ponds. This arrangement of ditches and natural creeks illustrates the long-standing reliance on water management in Carbon County.
