East Malta Colony offers a quiet, close‑knit way of life rooted in agriculture and faith, with big‑sky horizons and the Milk River corridor shaping the daily rhythm. Residents appreciate direct access to goods and services in nearby Malta and the supportive network across Phillips County. Weekends often revolve around the land—planting, harvesting, and community gatherings—while still having room for adventure from prairie to breaks.
Nature lovers can spend dawn among migrating waterfowl at Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, where trails and auto routes make birding effortless. For wider expanses, the rugged coulees and remote solitude of Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge invite hiking, wildlife viewing, and fall hunting. When it’s time to unwind, families head east toward Saco to soak at the historic Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs.
Families value education that respects tradition and forward momentum. Malta Public Schools supports colony classrooms and offers academics, activities, and athletics as students progress. In town, the Phillips County Museum tells the region’s homesteading and ranching story, while the adjacent Great Plains Dinosaur Museum showcases world‑class fossils discovered on local ranchland. Healthcare needs are covered by Phillips County Hospital & Family Health Clinic, with primary care and emergency services close to home.
