About this map

The confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River dominates this landscape, where a sophisticated network of irrigation channels supports the local agricultural economy. Features like the White Horse Canal, Glennwood Ditch, Smith Ditch, and Clawson Ditch trace the valley floor, illustrating the vital role of water management in this part of Carbon County. The small settlements of Silesia and Rockvale serve as focal points along the transportation corridor, with the Joliet Rural Fire Dist 1 Silesia Sta providing essential services to the rural community.

Rising above the river valleys, the terrain is defined by distinct landmarks such as Round Butte and the elevations of the N White Horse Bench and S White Horse Bench. Rural life is further evidenced by named roads such as Trewin School Rd and Whitehorse Ranch Rd, which connect scattered homesteads to the primary thoroughfares. The presence of the Rockcreek Campground near Rock Creek highlights the area's recreational utility amidst its working landscape.
