About this map

Anaconda serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this landscape, its urban grid tightly clustered along Commercial Avenue and Main Street. The town is characterized by a high concentration of institutional landmarks, including the Dwyer School, Junior High School, and the Community Hospital, reflecting its role as a regional hub in the late 20th century. To the west, Washoe Park and the adjacent Fish Hatchery border Warm Springs Creek, offering a recreational contrast to the industrial scars of the Open Pit Mine and extensive Tailings piles nearby.

Rising north of the city, the terrain transitions into the rugged drainage basins of the Deerlodge National Forest and Lost Creek State Park. Deep gulches like Timber Gulch and Levengood Gulch carve through Stucky Ridge, while scattered Prospect labels and an Adit indicate a history of mineral exploration beyond the primary mining operations. The map also captures specialized land uses such as a Drag Strip and a Mobile Home Park, documenting the diverse facets of this Montana mountain community.
