About this map

The town of Charlo serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Lake County, Montana. The map illustrates a complex network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region, including the Post Canal, Post B Canal, Post C Canal, and Post 7 D Ditch. This intricate system of laterals and ditches supports the local farming economy, centered around the Charlo Post Office and the Charlo - Moiese Rural Fire Dist.

In the eastern portion of the map, the Ninepipe Reservoir and Ninepipe Dam represent significant water management features, while the Willow Creek Campground provides a point of recreational interest. The surrounding terrain is marked by a grid of rural roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Dublin Gulch Rd, Johnson Rd, and Old Freight Rd. Natural watercourses like Crow Creek and Spring Creek meander through the northern sections, contrasting with the engineered precision of the numerous irrigation canals.
