1974 Map of Charlesville

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Charlesville sits at the intersection of local township boundaries and the Burlington Northern railroad, serving as a focal point in this intensely managed agricultural landscape of the 1970s. The map illustrates a highly engineered hydrologic system designed to drain the fertile plains of Tintah, Redpath, and North Ottawa. This network is defined by an extensive grid of drainage projects, including Judicial Ditch No 12 and County Ditch No 11, which redirect water toward the southern watercourses. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the natural meandering of the Mustinka River and Fivemile Creek contrasts with the straight lines of the man-made channels. The presence of the Old Channel indicates a legacy of stream diversion and modification, typical of the Red River Valley's agricultural development as farmers sought to manage seasonal flooding and maximize arable land.
