 Gallatin,
Park, and Meagher counties have a combined population of
78,800. Each encompasses approximately 2,500 square
miles of mountainous terrain located on the eastern
slope of the Rocky Mountains. The area is bordered on
the west by the Missouri River headwaters, to the south
by Yellowstone National Park, and to the north by the
valleys of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers.
Historically, the area's economy has been based on
farming, ranching, and the extraction and processing of
natural resources. Over the past 20 years, however,
there has been a significant shift to tourism and
related services.
