About this map

The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves through this portion of Carbon County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of early irrigation systems. The small community of Edgar sits along Us-310, serving as a central point for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The engineering of the valley is evident in the numerous water management features like the Prosperity-Granite Ditch, Edgar Canal, and Orchard Canal, which divert water to sustain the local farms and ranches.

Rising to the east, Two Bear Ridge provides a distinct topographical boundary, separated from the river valley by drainage systems such as Two Bear Cr and Fivemile Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the Rockvale Cem stands as a significant landmark in the northwest. The map also records several family-named and local access routes, including Youngs Rd and Homestead Rd, which trace the historical divisions of the land.
