Local Area As the county seat of Phillips County, Malta, Montana remains much the same as it was when Lewis and Clark roamed through in 1805. It is marked by diversity in landscapes with a variety of wildlife. The town of Malta was incorporated in 1909 and is rich in cultural history. It was a railroad station stop for the Great Northern Railroad. Malta serves as a notable stop along the Montana Dinosaur Trail. Enthusiasts can visit the Phillips County Museum and the Great Plains Dinosaurs Museum to gaze upon the evidence of a world that once was. Area Attractions Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs Soak in the only hot springs in the northern tier of Montana. Coming from a 3,200-foot deep well, 900 gallons of 108-degree water pumps through per minute to continuously heat a natural and chemical-free pool. The spring water contains beneficial minerals such as silica, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and iron all advantageous for healing and health. Early Day Outlaws Montana is well known for the days of the gun-slinging cowboy. Kid Curry's stomping ground in the 1880s was the Little Rockies country about 40 miles southwest of Malta. On July 3, 1901, Curry and his partners, Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and Deaf Charlie held up the Great Northern Railway's No. 3 passenger train. They blew up the express car safe and stole a bag of gold coins and $40,000 in unsigned and worthless banknotes. It was soon after that Curry and his gang departed Montana. Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge A grass prairie region of the wide-open plains of north-central Montana. The Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge spans 15,551 acres. It was established in 1936 as a migratory bird refuge. The birds flock to the cover and nesting areas provided by the saline and freshwater wetlands, native prairie, and densely planted shrubs. The Milk River supplies the refuge with most of its water through a system of canals. As you travel the 15-mile self-guided tour, expect to see waterfowl, shorebirds, birds of prey, grassland songbirds, beavers, muskrats, coyotes, white-tailed deer, and pronghorn antelope. In the fall hunting season, the refuge allows the harvest of waterfowl and upland game birds with a permit. This sprawling landscape of diverse habitats is located seven miles east of Malta. The Milk River Forty-one different species of fish swim the milky waters of the Milk River. One of prominence is the Channel Catfish. On May 8, 1805, the first "tourists" to this region, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, camped at the confluence of the Milk and Missouri rivers, about 18 miles southeast of present-day Glasgow. After exploring the river, Lewis called it "Milk River" because of its color resembling that of a "cup of tea admixture of a tablespoon full of milk." |
