Garfield County Wide Open Space with Noted Local Heroes
Garfield County in Montana highlights its vast landscape from Jordan north to Mis souri river badlands and Fort Peck. Local pride centers on soldiers Edward J. Saylor and John R. McCants, with livestock farming, grain, and lignite mining underpinning the economy. Jordan claims remote isolation with no railroad, and historic fires and a 1920 Carmichael case mark the era.
