MSU Extension Fort Peck Reservation: Wendy Becker Extension Agent The Fort Peck Reservation is 2,094,000 acres of land, located in the northeast corner of Montana. Poplar is the home to the Tribal Council headquarters. The Fort Peck Reservation is home to two separate American Indian Nations, each composed of numerous bands and divisions. The reservation is isolated from Montana’s populated areas as well as manufacturing centers, but does overlap oil and gas developments. The largest employer on the Fort Peck Reservation is the Fort Peck Tribes. The main economic driver is agriculture with the land rich in natural resources.
