Charette Lake and its smaller counterpart, Upper Charette Lake, anchor this high-plains landscape in Colfax County. The terrain is defined by the prominent Charette Mesa and Apache Mesa, which overlook a network of seasonal water bodies and managed irrigation systems, including the substantial Charette Lake Diversion Canal. This area illustrates the critical role of water management in the arid West, where natural features like Laguna Yeso and creeks such as Sweetwater Creek and Ocate Creek are vital resources.
