2024 Map of Opportunity

About this map

The Deerlodge National Forest covers the southern elevations of this Montana landscape, where the Boulder Mountains rise above a valley defined by the winding course of Silver Bow Creek. Settlement patterns here reflect the transition from agricultural tracts to the industrial outskirts of Anaconda, with the planned streets of Opportunity and the small communities of Stuart and Finlen scattered along the transport corridor. Historical transit routes such as Old Hwy 10A and the Frontage Rd parallel the waterways, connecting the larger towns to rural enclaves. Near the center of the sheet, the presence of Fairmont Hot Springs and Gregson points to a legacy of recreation and geologic interest within the Deer Lodge and Silver Bow county border region. Local history is further preserved at the Anaconda Catholic Cem and Sunset Memorial Gardens.
