About this map

Anaconda anchors the southern edge of this landscape, its urban grid tightly packed against the base of Stucky Ridge. The map documents a town defined by its industrial heritage, where extensive Tailings deposits and a Gravel Pit lie just north of the residential blocks. Public life in the late 20th century is centered around institutions like Washington School, Lincoln School, and the Community Hospital, while recreation is found at Washoe Park and the local Drag Strip.

Beyond the town limits, the terrain rises sharply into the Deer Lodge National Forest. Numerous small-scale industrial sites are scattered throughout the hills, marked as Prospect or Prospects, alongside a larger Open Pit Mine near the northern boundary. Water flows from the heights through rugged drainages like Smith Gulch and Antelope Creek toward the valley floor, where Lost Creek State Park preserves a significant geological corridor.
