About Montana

Montana is a state in the Northwestern United States. Montana has several nicknames, although none are official, including "Big Sky Country" and "The Treasure State", and slogans that include "Land of the Shining Mountains" and more recently, "The Last Best Place". Montana is the 4th largest in area, the 8th least populous, and the 3rd least densely populated of the 50 U.S. states. The western half of Montana contains numerous mountain ranges. Smaller island ranges are found throughout the state. In all, 77 named ranges are part of the Rocky Mountains. The eastern half of Montana is characterized by western prairie terrain and badlands. Montana is bordered by Idaho to the west, Wyoming to the south, North Dakota and South Dakota to the east, and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to the north. It is the only state in the US whose borders are defined entirely by rivers. The Continental Divide runs through the central portion of the state, splitting many of the mountainous regions into distinct eastern and western halves.

Most of Montana's 100 or more named mountain ranges are in the state's western half, most of which is geologically part of the Northern Rocky Mountains. The Absaroka and Beartooth ranges in the state's southwest corner are technically part of the Central Rocky Mountains. The southern third of the state is characterized by the Northern Plains, which include the Great Plains and the Missouri Plateau. The economy is primarily based on agriculture, including ranching and cereal grain farming. Other significant economic activities include oil, gas, coal, hard rock mining, and lumber. The health care, service, and government sectors also are significant to the state's economy. Millions of tourists annually visit Glacier National Park, the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, and Yellowstone National Park.
