About this map

The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves a winding path through this portion of Carbon County, anchoring the agricultural and residential life centered around Edgar. This rural landscape is defined by its water management systems, notably the Edgar Canal and O Connor Ditch, which redirect water from the river to support the surrounding valley. The settlement of Edgar itself is concentrated near the intersection of the river and local roads like Elwell St, housing essential civic landmarks such as the Edgar Post Office and the Edgar Rural Fire Dist 4.

To the north, Rockvale Cemetery provides a historical focal point for genealogists and local historians, while the eastern terrain rises toward Two Bear Ridge. Tributaries like Fivemile Creek and Two Bear Creek lace the territory, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the region's development. This map details a specific moment in the river valley’s history, documenting the exact layout of roads like Homesteader Rd and Pryor Rd alongside the enduring natural features of the Montana landscape.
