Last updated by Aricin Rotarius
Located in central Montana, north of Stanford and south of Fort Benton, this district features mostly rangeland in its northern portion, as well as some farm ground. The Missouri River forms the northern boundary of the district. The population of antelope in this district has been impacted by a disease outbreak in 2009, and it has taken some time for the area to recover. However, the numbers are now stable and showing slight increases.
