Daniels County, Administrative county in northeastern Montana, United States.
Description
Daniels County is an administrative county in northeastern Montana that spans broad plains crossed by the Poplar River. The landscape consists of grassland, farmland, and scattered homesteads that together form the typical terrain of the Great Plains.
History
The area was created in 1920 by the Montana Legislature and takes its name from local rancher Mansfield Daniels. Its formation came from dividing land previously belonging to neighboring counties to better serve the developing region.
Culture
Farming and ranching form the backbone of life here, shaping how people work the land and organize their communities. You will see this rural identity reflected in the scattered homesteads and working landscapes throughout the region.
Practical
Montana Highway 5 and Montana Highway 13 pass through the area and connect communities with services in Scobey, the county seat. Visitors should be prepared for long distances between towns and bring supplies when traveling through the countryside.
Did you know?
A large portion of the county is publicly owned state land, giving the area a distinctive land management pattern. This public ownership affects how the landscape is used and accessed across significant sections of the region.
