The Boulder Batholith is a relatively small batholith in southwestern Montana, United States, exposed at the surface as granite (more specifically quartz monzonite) and serving as the host rock for rich mineralized deposits at Butte and other locations.
 The batholith lies roughly between Butte and Helena, and between the Deer Lodge (Upper Clark Fork) Valley and the Broadwater (Upper Missouri) Valley.
 The volcanic Elkhorn Mountains are a large mass of forested lava associated with the batholith.
Deer Lodge is a city in and the county seat of Powell County, Montana, United States.
 The population was 3,111 at the 2010 census.
 The city is perhaps best known as the home of the Montana State Prison, a major local employer.
 The Montana State Hospital in Warm Springs, and former state tuberculosis sanitarium in nearby Galen are the result of the power the western part of the state held over Montana at statehood due to the copper and mineral wealth in that area.
 Deer Lodge was also once an important railroad town, serving as a division headquarters for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ("the Milwaukee Road") before the railroad's local abandonment in 1980.
Warm Springs is an unincorporated community in Deer Lodge County, Montana, United States, operated by the state of Montana.
 It is the site of Montana State Hospital, the only long term psychiatric hospital operated by the state of Montana.
 The hospital was founded by the Territorial Government of Montana in 1877.
 The "warm springs" are located on the hospital campus.
 Hot water seeps from a limestone cone that is about 40 feet high.
 The Native Americans called this the "Lodge of the Whitetailed Deer" giving the Deer Lodge Valley its name.
 There are no community services other than a bar and convenience store on the frontage road and a post office (zip code 59756) on the hospital campus.
 Brown trout fishing can be found in the Clark Fork River just east of Warm Springs and in the ponds on the Warm Springs Wildlife Management Area.

Deer Lodge Pass, elevation 5879 ft , is a mountain pass on the Continental Divide in southwestern Montana, about 11 miles southwest of Butte.
 It is traversed by Interstate 15 and is one of three crossings of the Divide by I-15 (all in Montana), the others being Monida Pass (on the border with Idaho) and Elk Park Pass north of Butte.
 Unlike most other passes in western Montana, Deer Lodge Pass is in the midst of treeless, rolling hills (reminiscent of Interstate 80 in Wyoming), and the grades on the highway are relatively gentle.
The Fort Niobrara Wilderness is located in the U.S. state of Nebraska, near Valentine.
 Created by an act of Congress in 1976, the wilderness is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and covers an area of 4,635 acres (18.75 km) within Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge.
 The wilderness lies along the northern banks of the Niobrara River (which is designated as the Niobrara National Scenic River through the refuge and beyond), providing sanctuary to bison, prairie dogs, mule deer, river otter and the bald eagle.
 A mixture of flat prairie and wooded ravines, there are no maintained trails in the wilderness.
 Access is only allowed during daylight hours and there is no camping or fires allowed, although one can do so outside the wilderness in the remaining sections of the refuge.
 Additionally, no hunting is allowed in this wilderness.
The Anaconda Range, informally known as the "Pintlers", is a group of high mountains located in southwestern Montana, in the northwestern United States.
 The mountain range takes its name from the nearby town of Anaconda, founded by Marcus Daly in 1883.
 It runs northeast approximately 50 miles (80 km) from Lost Trail Pass to a point near the community of Anaconda, covering parts of Ravalli, Deer Lodge, Granite and Beaverhead Counties.
 To the northwest are the Sapphire Mountains, to the south is the Big Hole Valley.
 Due north, the range blends into the Flint Creek Range, and to the southeast lies the Big Hole River and Pioneer Mountains.
 The crest of the range is part of the Continental Divide, rising to 10,793 feet (3290 m) at West Goat Peak.
 Other major summits include Mt. Evans (10,641 ft, 3243 m), Mt. Haggin (10,607 ft, 3233 m), Warren Peak (10,463 ft, 3189 m), and East Goat Peak (10,399 ft, 3170 m).
 West Pintler Peak, located in a more commonly visited area, rises to 9894 feet (2895 m).
 Much of the range is protected in the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Area.
The Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness is located in southwestern Montana, in the northwestern United States.
 It runs for 40 miles (65 km) along both sides of the crest of the Anaconda Range, covering almost 250 square miles (640 km).
 To the north are the Sapphire Mountains, and to the south is the Big Hole Valley.
 Elevations range from about 5000 feet (1525 m) up to 10,793 feet (3290 m) at West Goat Peak.
 West Pintler Peak, located in a more commonly visited area, rises to 9894 feet (2895 m).
 Visitors can most easily access this area via trailheads at Pintler Lake to the south, and at Lutz Creek and Moose Lake to the north.
 The wilderness lies in parts of Deer Lodge, Granite, Ravalli, and Beaverhead counties.
The Meyers Fire is in Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest in the U.S. state of Montana and was first reported on July 17, 2017 at 5:21pm.
 Located approximately 25 mi southwest of Phillipsburg, Montana, the Meyers Fire is a natural fire that was caused by lightning.
 As of September 28, 2017, it encompassed 62034 acres .
 The Meyers Fire originated after a lightning storm passed over the region, starting a fire in remote terrain in Granite County, Montana within Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
 The fire then burned into neighboring Ravalli County, Montana and then crossed the continental divide into Beaverhead County, Montana and Deer Lodge County, Montana, where it entered Bitterroot National Forest.
 By August 3, the Meyers and Whetstone Fires merged, with the name of the former being the official name of the event.
 Due to a heavy fuel load, exceptionally dry conditions with high heat and periods of strong winds, the Meyers Fire had periods of explosive growth during August and early September, leading to evacuations of nearby communities.
The Sapphire Mountains are a range of mountains located in southwestern Montana in the northwestern United States.
 From a point near the Clark Fork River and the city of Missoula, they run in a southerly direction for a distance of approximately 60 miles (100 km), making up much of the border between Ravalli County (to the west) and Granite County.
 To the west is the Bitterroot Valley, and to the east is Rock Creek.
 The southern end of the range meets the larger Anaconda Range at West Pintler Peak.
