Stillwater County has everything from the beautiful Beartooth Mountains and river valleys to the rolling plains with big, beautiful skies. Located in south-central Montana, the county offers fishing in rivers or streams, floating the Yellowstone and Stillwater Rivers, hunting in the Beartooth Mountains or the open plains to the north, Art Walks in Absarokee and more. Stillwater County has a population of 9,131 (according to the 2011 Census), with 1,891 people in the largest incorporated town of Columbus. MSU Extension has two agents and one support staff: Lee Schmelzer, agriculture and 4-H agent; Haley Barker, family and consumer science and 4-H agent; and Raya Logan-Jackson, 4-H administrative assistant. We look forward to continuing to serve the needs of our neighbors and communities in Stillwater County.
