1967 Map of Conleys Lake

About this map

Hillcrest Cemetery and the Deer Lodge City and County Airport overlook the valley floor where the C M St P & P railroad corridor runs along the eastern edge of this 1967 survey. The landscape is a study in water management and institutional land use, featuring the State Prison Ranch No 1 and the Filtration Plant near the banks of Tin Cup Joe Creek. High-country water resources like Conleys Lake, Upper Taylor Reservoir, and Lower Taylor Reservoir dominate the central terrain, feeding down through numerous drainages such as Mullan Gulch and Taylor Creek. The presence of the Deer Lodge Country Club and Deer Park near the town's edge contrasts with the working landscape of the Williams and Tavenner Ranch and several Gravel Pits found throughout the foothills.
