2014 Map of Deer Lodge

About this map

Deer Lodge serves as the focal point of this Powell County region, situated along the valley of the Clark Fork river. The landscape is defined by the transition from the river bottom lands to the rising drainages of Mullan Gulch and Helena Gulch. A significant portion of the riverfront is occupied by the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site, preserving the legacy of the open-range cattle era. To the south of the city, the presence of the Prison Farm indicates the long-standing local integration of institutional agriculture and the state correctional system. The map details a network of vital mountain-fed waterways, including Cottonwood Cr, Fred Burr Cr, and Tin Cup Joe Cr, which have historically supported both the ranching operations and the town's development. Local infrastructure is highlighted by features such as the Clark Fork River Bridge and the Cottonwood Creek Bridge.
