Garfield County, Montana
Garfield County sits in the vast eastern plains of Montana. It’s where the phrase “wide open spaces” takes on a whole new meaning. It’s big. Real big. We’re talking nearly 5,000 square miles with barely 1,200 people calling it home.
Jordan, the county seat, is the kind of town where everyone knows your name… and probably your business too. The Missouri River forms the county’s northern border, forming Fort Peck Lake in the northeast.
Ranching is king here, with cattle outnumbering people by a long shot. But the locals wouldn’t have it any other way. The Hell Creek Formation is a magnet for paleontologists, who come hunting for T-rex fossils in the badlands. It’s not glamorous, but there’s a raw beauty to Garfield County that gets under your skin.
