About this map

Charlo serves as the primary hub of this Mission Valley landscape in the mid-1960s, defined by an intricate network of water management features including the Lateral, Canal, and Siphon systems. These irrigation works support the agricultural character of the region, which is bounded to the west by the Moiese Hills and to the east by the significant waters of the Ninepipe Reservoir. The Northern Pacific railroad line cuts north-south through the terrain, connecting the town site and its High Sch to the surrounding rural reaches.

Local landmarks such as the D'Aste Ch and Ninepipe Substa offer specific points of interest for those tracing community development. The presence of the Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge and its associated Picnic Ground highlights the early conservation footprint in Lake County. Natural drainage is marked by Crow Creek and Post Creek, while the presence of Gravel Pits and a Sewage Disposal Pond reflect the utility and infrastructure of the era.
