Panorama View of The Once-Upon-a-Time Anaconda Copper Mining and Processing Operation.
“Later we pass the great stack of the Anaconda smelter, …. “
, Anaconda, MT. The view opens showing the road West where it enters the town of Anaconda seen in the dstance. Continued scrolling shows a general overview of the countryside to the North. Then the dual-lane highway from the East comes into view. More scrolling reveals crass covered “hills”, where is nestled the “great stack of the Anaconda smelter“! Most of these green hills are “copper mining waste dumps” that have recently been reclaimed. To take this photo, I climbed up to the top of the dump on the north side of highway. Where I stopped my car to take this photo, there were copper green colored rocks in the ditch long the road. The green may have been a deposit from water run-off from the dump piles, or actual pieces of copper ore.
