About this map

The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River defines the western edge of this landscape, carving a fertile corridor where irrigation systems like the Edgar Canal and the Prosperity-Granite Ditch supported agricultural development. The settlement of Edgar serves as the local hub, situated near the riverbanks and surrounded by a network of named country roads such as Homesteader Rd and Pryor Rd. To the north, the Rockvale Cem offers a primary point of interest for those researching local family histories and early burials.

Rising to the east, the topography becomes more complex, marked by features such as Two Bear Ridge and the Two Bear Horst. These formations overlook a drainage network that includes Fivemile Cr and its tributaries, reflecting the transition from river bottomlands to the elevated ridges of Carbon County. This 2017 survey documents the persistent reliance on water management through features like the O'Connor Ditch and the Orchard Canal, which remain integral to the rural character of the region.
