1956 Map of Edgar
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Edgar serves as the central hub of this mid-century agricultural landscape, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and Northern Pacific railroads converge to move goods through the Carbon County river valleys. The town's reliance on the local waterways is evident in the complex irrigation network feeding the surrounding fields, including the Bartlett Canal, Edgar Canal, and the Orchard Canal. These man-made watercourses draw from the Yellowstone River and Clarks Fork, creating a stark contrast between the lush valley floor and the high, arid relief of Two Bear Ridge to the east.
