About this map

The Flathead River winds extensively through this portion of Lake County, defining the western landscape with its deep bends and river breaks. In the early 21st century, this area remains a hybrid of natural watercourses and an engineered agricultural environment. The community of Round Butte sits at a crossroads in the southeast, surrounded by a grid of rural roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Seevers Ln and Orchard Hill Rd.

Water management is central to the terrain, evidenced by the presence of the Horte Reservoir and Horte Dam. A network of irrigation features, including the Pablo A Canal and the Pablo 73A14 Ditch, branches across the flats. This system of ditches and canals reflects the sustained importance of water rights and distribution in the valley, supporting the farmsteads that line thoroughfares like Moiese Valley Rd and Round Butte Rd W.
