This is a photo of the Rosebud County area, one of many popular Montana fish and game hunting grounds. Local activities include antelope hunting on the flatt grassy plains, and trout fishing or boating on the Yellowstone River. The town of Rosebud also has a golf course and a casino, for those who don't prefer the hunting scene.
Rosebud is famous for becoming Custer's final resting place following his crushing defeat at the Battle of Little Big Horn.
Although Montana is most often associated with (and named for) its mountains toward the west, about 60% of the state's land is actually prairie, dotted here and there with small mountain clusters known as "island ranges." Another 25% is forested land adorned with ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, larch, fir, spruce, aspen, birch, red cedar, ash, alder, rocky mountain maple and cottonwood trees.
