Rosebud and Treasure Counties represent a diverse landscape and population. Covering 6,000+ square miles, the two counties account for a vast geographic area. Three incorporated cities, Forsyth, Colstrip and Hysham, and several additional communities and the Northern Cheyenne Reservation are located in the counties. The northern portion of both counties provides wide open prairies met by the Yellowstone River. The southern half offers rugged, pine-covered hills. Farming, ranching energy development, and railroad make up the majority of the economic drivers. MSU Extension in Rosebud and Treasure Counties strives to meet the needs of the constituents and communities within the two counties by offering various educational programs and services.
