About this map

The Beaverhead Co Madison Co border divides this high-plains landscape, where the management of water dictates the pattern of settlement and agriculture. In the early 1960s, a complex network of irrigation infrastructure served local operations like the Diamond O Ranch, including the East Bench Canal and the Staudher-Bishop Ditch. These man-made watercourses redirect flows across the terrain near Charlton, illustrating the intensive ranching and farming efforts required in this part of Montana. Beyond the ranch lands, the geography is defined by natural drainage systems such as Trout Creek, Stone Creek, and Spring Creek, while a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary indicates the localized extraction of resources for regional road building or ranch maintenance.
