Fallon County sits in the far southeastern corner of Montana, in the prairie region, bordering both North Dakota and South Dakota. Baker, the county seat, is a small town with a big personality.

Oil put this place on the map, and you can still see pump jacks nodding away in the fields. But it’s not all black gold here. Wheat and cattle are just as important to the local economy.

The county is named after Benjamin O’Fallon, an early settler who probably never imagined his name would end up on the map. You won’t find many fancy tourist attractions in Fallon County, just honest folks living life on the high plains. For anyone who loves wide-open spaces and starry nights, it’s pretty hard to beat.
