About this map

The agrarian landscape of Carbon County is defined by an intricate network of irrigation canals and ditches that sustain the high plains south of Roberts. This 2017 survey details the complex water management systems of the region, including the Finn Ditch, Kivikangas Ditch, and Tuck-Crockett Ditch, which crisscross the territory between West Bench and East Bench. These systems trace the historical efforts to bring water from Rock Creek and Clear Creek to the surrounding ranch lands.

Settlement patterns follow the corridor of S Railway Ave and the major drainages, with the community of Fox situated to the southwest. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific landmarks like the Roberts Cemetery and the isolated Bodair Grave. Structural features such as the Rock Creek Bridge and the rugged topography of Porcupine Ridge and the Dry Creek Basin provide a clear view of the physical constraints and engineering solutions that have shaped this portion of Montana.
