Anaconda
Anaconda sits at the foot of the Anaconda Range in western Montana, United States, where the Deer Lodge Valley meets the mountains. Established in the 1880s as a company town for copper smelting, it was closely tied to Marcus Daly’s Anaconda Copper enterprise. The 585-foot Anaconda Smelter Stack, completed in 1919, remains the city’s defining industrial monument and a National Historic Landmark. Downtown retains a grid of broad streets and historic commercial buildings, while the surrounding uplands lead toward the Pintler Mountains and the wider Rocky Mountain landscape. Georgetown Lake, west of town, is a major recreation area.

It stands in the Deer Lodge Valley, with the Pintler Mountains rising to the west and the wider Rocky Mountain country close at hand. The 585-foot Anaconda Stack, preserved from the Washoe smelter complex, remains the town’s defining industrial landmark. At Old Works Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus on a former smelter site, black slag fills the bunkers—an unusual reminder of the city’s past.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
