2014 Map of Charlo

About this map

Charlo serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the Mission Valley, defined by a complex irrigation network that supports the surrounding farmsteads. The intricate system of water management is evident through numerous named channels, including the Post Canal, Post 7-D Ditch, and the Post 22-C Lateral, which draw from local sources to transform the prairie. To the east, the Ninepipe Reservoir stands as a significant water body, while the terrain transitions into the Moiese Hills in the northwest corner. Historically significant transport routes such as Old Freight Rd and Dublin Gulch Rd intersect the grid-patterned fields, tracing the legacy of movement through Dublin Gulch. This map provides a clear picture of the modern infrastructure and early 21st-century land use within the Flathead Reservation area, centered on the small-town community of Charlo.
