About this map

Deer Lodge serves as the central hub of this Montana landscape, where the Clark Fork river and Interstate 90 dictate the town's linear orientation. The map documents the community's critical infrastructure, including the Deer Lodge Post Office, the Deer Lodge Vol Fire Dept, and the local Powell County Fairground. To the south, the expansive Prison Farm occupies a significant portion of the valley floor, illustrating the long-standing institutional presence in the region.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of drainages such as Cottonwood Creek, Fred Burr Creek, and O'Neill Creek that flow from the eastern uplands toward the river. Historical named routes like Cattle Drive Rd and the northern settlement of Kohrs highlight the area's agricultural and ranching heritage. Significant civil engineering features are noted as well, from the Cottonwood Creek Bridge to the Deer Lodge Sewage Lagoon Dam, providing a comprehensive look at the modern utility of this Powell County valley.
