Stillwater County, Montana
South-central Montana is home to Stillwater County. Columbus is the county seat, which sits along I-90. The Stillwater River cuts through the region, which is why the county is named this way.
Ranching is big here. You’ll see more cows than people most days. But there’s also a growing tourism industry, with folks coming to explore the nearby Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness.
The county’s got its share of colorful characters. Old-timers who’ve seen it all and newcomers drawn by the promise of wide-open spaces. At the end of the day, Stillwater County is pure Montana. It’s rugged, beautiful, and independent.
