2011 Map of Bridger

About this map

The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves a fertile valley through this portion of Carbon County, Montana, anchoring the community of Bridger. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate irrigation network essential to the high plains economy, featuring the Orchard Canal, Sand Creek Canal, and Mutual Ditch. The landscape is defined by the tension between the river’s winding course and the rigid grid of rural roads like Pryor Rd and Detlaf Rd. Family-named operations such as Phillips Ranch and Kienitz Ranch are interspersed with local landmarks like Round Butte. The town center is well-documented with civil services, including the Bridger Post Office and the Bridger Vol Fire Dept, while the Bridger Municipal Airport and Bridger Cemetery mark the western edge of the settlement. Further east, the small community of East Bridger sits across the river, connected by a network of rural routes traversing the valley floor.
