Beaverhead-Deerlodge

National Forest - Montana

The Beaverhead–Deerlodge National Forest is the largest of the National Forests in Montana. The forest is broken into nine separate sections and stretches across eight counties in the southwestern area of the state. Forest headquarters are located in Dillon, Montana. President Theodore Roosevelt established the forests because the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, based in Butte, Montana, had begun to clearcut the upper Big Hole River watershed. The subsequent erosion, exacerbated by smoke pollution from the Anaconda smelter, was devastating the region. Ranchers and conservationists alike complained to Roosevelt, who made several trips to the area.
