About this map

Red Lodge serves as the gateway to the high plateau country in this recent Carbon County survey, which documents the transition from the valley floor to the prominent rising terrain of Face-Of-The-Mountain. The landscape is defined by its extensive water management systems, including the Jeffrey Ditch, Spurr Ditch, and Cartwright Ditch, which irrigate the agricultural tablelands of West Bench and East Bench. These features highlight the importance of controlled water flow in sustaining the local economy.

To the southeast, the small settlements of Washoe and Bearcreek are connected by the winding path of Bear Cr, where local history is anchored by the Bearcreek Cem and numerous named coulees like Scotch Coulee and Larkin Coulee. The presence of the Carbon County Court House in Red Lodge and the structural Rock Creek Bridge underscore the area's role as a civic hub, while the diverse network of backroads such as Meeteetse Trail Rd offers a detailed view of contemporary land use and property boundaries.
