  • A Case Study of Red Lodge, Montana, 1884-1995 By
    Land use and landscape evolution in the West : a case study of Red Lodge, Montana, 1884-1995 by Meredith Nelson Wiltsie A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences Montana State University © Copyright by Meredith Nelson Wiltsie (1998) Abstract: During the last 100 years, Red Lodge, Montana has evolved from a tiny prospectors’ camp into a substantial mining community and finally into a center for amenity-based recreational tourism and rural in migration. This process has been tangibly . preserved on the landscape and, in essence, exemplifies a case study in the evolution of capitalism. Indeed, Red Lodge owes its origins to the industrial era of productive capitalism and has evolved into an economy based on a postindustrial era of consumption capitalism. This study reconstructs changes in land use and landscape in the Red Lodge area through these eras and interprets how these changes illustrate broader processes of deindustrialization and the changing nature of capitalism in the American West. This research also identifies how local citizens’ own sense of place has both shaped and been shaped by these broader economic and cultural shifts. As a case study, Red Lodge is representative of a shift in land use and landscape occurring in many mountainous communities in the nonmetropolitan West.

The findings indicated that Montana’s existing brand pillars are very much in line with telling the winter story. The opportunity is to connect with our target on a sensory level to best engage them and better tell this winter story. The following pages are a “road map,” providing a snapshot of the research and a guide to help Montana’s tourism partners and their marketing organizations execute branded communications conveying the Montana winter experience. 2 RESEARCH SUMMARY The winter season in Montana provides a wide range of vacation opportunities for out-of-state visitors and locals alike—snow creates the context for their travel experience. Recent competitive, qualitative and focus group research tells us that people choose winter vacations for a variety of reasons, and the analysis of those insights will help us reach them more effectively. The following is an overview of why travelers choose winter destinations and what they expect to get out of their winter vacation. 3 COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE RESEARCH SUMMARY: WINTER TRAVELER EXPECTATIONS The immediate competitive landscape includes Montana’s neighbors of Idaho and Wyoming, as well as Utah and Colorado.
