Powder River County offers horizon-to-horizon space, friendly ranching communities, and weekends that swing from youth sports to star-filled skies. Centered on Broadus, it spans badlands breaks, sage prairie, and cottonwood creeks, with agriculture at its core and outdoor adventure in every direction. Downtown Broadus hosts the County Fair, parades, and the Powder River Historical Museum, where homestead-era artifacts tell the region’s story.
Residents prize the Ashland country of the Custer Gallatin National Forest for scenic drives, quiet trailheads, and elk habitat, along with vast public tracts managed by the BLM Miles City Field Office for hiking, wildlife viewing, and autumn hunts. Anglers and boaters day-trip to Tongue River Reservoir State Park, while history buffs make pilgrimages to the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. For bigger shopping, medical specialists, and events, locals look to Miles City and Billings, with neighbors in Rosebud County and Carter County rounding out a true Southeast Montana network.
