Carter County, Rural county in southeastern Montana, US
Carter County spans 3,348 square miles of Montana territory, featuring rolling plains, hills, and sections of Custer National Forest at its borders.
The county was established in 1917 and named after Thomas H. Carter, Montana's first congressional representative to the United States House of Representatives.
The region maintains strong connections to its ranching heritage, with beef production and farming serving as primary economic activities across the territory.
