About this map

The Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site anchors the western landscape of this Powell County map, preserving the heritage of the open-range cattle era along the banks of the Clark Fork. To the south, the city of Deer Lodge is shown in detail, serving as a regional hub with its Courthouse, local Po, and several Museums. The town’s educational infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Powell Co High Sch and Powell Co Jr High Sch.

Water and terrain dictate the settlement patterns, with Cottonwood Creek and Peterson Creek flowing toward the main river valley. Beyond the urban grid, the map records industrial and agricultural life through numerous Gravel Pits and the small northern settlement of O'Neil. Transportation and drainage are further marked by Mullan Gulch and a complex network of unnamed ditches supporting the surrounding ranching operations.
