Fort Keogh, Military fort complex in Miles City, Montana
Fort Keogh occupies 55,000 acres along the Yellowstone River, featuring multiple research buildings and extensive rangeland for agricultural studies.
Colonel Nelson Miles established the fort in 1876 following the Battle of Little Bighorn to monitor Native American movements toward Canada.
The fort transformed from a military installation to the largest remount station during World War I, supplying horses for military operations worldwide.
The USDA facility conducts research on beef cattle genetics, reproductive physiology, and nutrition through the Livestock and Range Research Laboratory.
Scientists recorded the largest natural snowflake, measuring 15 inches in diameter, at Fort Keogh on January 28, 1887.
