Overview The Great Northern Development Corporation of northeastern Montana is a private, non‐profit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Montana. Articles of Incorporation were filed on October 18, 1995 in specific response to the federal legislation of P.L. 8‐136, the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended. The Great Northern Development Corporation submitted its first regional Overall Economic Development Program (OEDP) in 1997. The first update to the OEDP was completed in 1998 and the district became designated a U.S. Economic Development Administration Economic Development District. In 2002 the Great Northern Development Corporation submitted its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The CEDS was approved within that same year. The Great Northern Development Corporation has been in continuous operation since 1995. While the Board of Directors, officers and staff have undergone changes, the mission of the district remains the same. Realizing that positive changes must originate within specific communities, the Board of Directors of the district believes its role is to provide the resources required to make those changes a reality. Effecting change brings together agencies, community leaders, businesses and individuals with a common goal. In the beginning Valley, Roosevelt, Daniels, Sheridan and McCone Counties as well as the Fort Peck Sioux and Assiniboine Tribes comprised the Great Northern Development Corporation. Later, Garfield County requested inclusion into the region expanding the district to a six county Economic Development District. The district employs six full time professional economic development specialists including an Executive Director, a Housing Specialist/ Marketing Manager, a Loan Officer, Small Business Development Center Director, a Brownfields Program Manager/ Grant Administrator, and a Financial Officer/ Administrative Assistant. Each staff has specific responsibilities and works with specific committees within the organization. The Executive Director is responsible for reporting to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis and various funders. Final responsibility of all activities rests with the Board of Directors. A listing of the Board of Directors, GNDC’s special committees and its staff members can be found in Section II. Responding to the need for increased economic and community development across the state, the Montana State Legislature created the Certified Regional Development (CRDC) Program within the Montana Department of Commerce. In 2004, CRDC funds were allocated to GNDC to support expanded services to the six county region. History of the Region It is unknown how long Native Americans have occupied the land that is now contained within the six counties of the Great Northern district in Northeastern Montana. Estimates range widely from 30,000 to 50,000 years. Whatever the time period, the Missouri River and its tributaries served as major transportation and migration routes to and through the region. GNDC CEDS 2017 3 In 1804 Lewis and Clark led the first organized exploration through what was to become the great State of Montana and the Great Northern Development District. In those early days the economy of the region was based on the capitalization of natural and renewable resources. Early accounts and journals written by these first explorers tell of great fur trapping opportunities, an abundance of wildlife and spacious grasslands. The first non‐native settlements along the Missouri River were central to economic development in northeastern Montana as furs were traded among Native American and European trappers. Fort Union, Culbertson and Wolf Point were fur trading centers where wolf, buffalo and beaver hides were frozen during the winter and shipped to St. Louis, Missouri on barges and riverboats following the first thaw. Later, homesteaders and cattle barons fought to master the land. Intrigued by the promises of free land and promoted by railroad advertisements, homesteaders built sod shanties on the prairie. Some were able to endure the tough winters and dry summers and produce a legacy of independence still evident today. In the 1930s, many farmers and ranchers did not make it through a national period of economic depression which created low commodity prices. This began a long period of population outmigration as farms continued to grow in size. As larger equipment and ever more efficient production farming practices emerge, the trend continues, albeit at a slower pace. The Fort Peck Indian reservation was formally established on May 12, 1888 by an official act of Congress (25 Stat. Sec 113, Ch. 212.) The federally recognized and established Fort Peck Indian reservation is the permanent homeland of the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes. The Fort Peck Reservation encompasses most of Montana’s Roosevelt County. The remaining portions of the Reservation are situated throughout the northeast Montana counties of Valley, Daniels and Sheridan counties. With the advent of the railroads through Montana in the late 1800s, travel and commerce changed dramatically in the region, shifting from the previous emphasis on river navigation. Today, the main northern line of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad passing through the district provides for shipment of freight and commodities across the norther tier of the United States and beyond. B. Key Findings The Region’s Population The region has seen general population decline since the 1930s, owing largely to the Great Depression and a corresponding decline in farm commodity prices, extended drought, and other factors. Notable exceptions to this general trend during the period were in Valley County which experienced population increases resulting from the construction of the Fort Peck Dam which had peaked in 1940 before declining to previous levels. Then, by 1960, another peak was reached with the construction of the Glasgow Air Force Base. After closure of the base, the population of Valley County continued a gradual decline. Roosevelt County has also shown some population fluctuation during the period, although it has been among the most stable over the long term. Despite the general decline on population, the region appears GNDC CEDS 2017 4 to have rebounded somewhat during the current decade. Much of this can be attributable to an increase in oil exploration and extraction activities in the region during the early part of the decade. As this activity has subsided to a significant degree, it remains a question as to whether the population can be maintained at the current estimated level. Though the region’s population declined by 44 percent between 1930 and 2010, estimates are that the population rebounded in this decade by 5.3 percent though 2016, according to estimates of the U.S.Bureau of the Census.

  • The Great Falls Coal Field, Montana."
    THE GREAT FALLS COAL FIELD, MONTANA." By CASSIUS A. FISHER. INTRODUCTION. The present paper is a brief preliminary statement of the results of a detailed survey made of the Great Falls coal field, Montana, during the season of 1906 by W. K. Calvert, H. M. Eakin, and the writer. The principal resource of this region is coal, and, as the .investigation was made primarily to determine the classification of the public lands, the work was conducted with a view to defining as far as practicable the limits of the coal areas with respect to legal subdivisions of such lands. The Great Falls coal field was first examined by geologists of the Transcontinental Survey in 1879. In the course of this investigation the coal-bearing horizon was studied and traced from Judith River to Belt Creek by the late George H. Eldridge.b Later a brief examina­ tion was made of this coal field by J. S. Newberry c in the interests of the Great Northern Railway. During the spring of 1891 W. PI. Weed, while making an examination of the coal field of Montana for the United States Geological Survey, visited this region and later de­ scribed the deposits in considerable detail.6* LOCATION. The Great Falls coal field is situated along the base of the Rocky Mountain front range in north-central Montana. As first described by Weed, it extends as a zone of comparatively narrow width along the base of the Rocky Mountains from a point near Musselshell River northwestward to the international boundary line between Canada and the United States.

    Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks Fisheries Division Job Progress Report STATE: Montana PROJECT: Statewide Fisheries Management TITLE: Eastern Region 6 Pond, Stream and River Sampling JOB: Northeast Montana Warmwater Ponds and River Investigations FEDERAL GRANT: FISCAL YEAR: 2016-2017 (July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017) REPORT PERIOD: April 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 Author: Tyler M. Haddix ABSTRACT Northeast Montana provides anglers with diverse fishing opportunities from iconic Fort Peck Lake to the relatively underutilized Milk and Missouri Rivers to numerous small impoundments both on public and private lands. During 2016 and 2017 Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) conducted a variety of fisheries related efforts to maintain recreational opportunities and monitor existing fisheries within the eastern district of Region 6 (Figure 1.) This management zone includes Valley, Daniels, Sheridan, Roosevelt and portions of Richland, McCone and Dawson Counties. This report does not include Fort Peck Reservoir, as it is a separate management entity. Eastern Montana went through severe drought conditions in 2017, which was one of the driest spring and summers on record. Luckily, most ponds went into 2017 with decent water levels. During 2017 the Milk River had one early peak in mid-March, which may have been enough to produce a sauger spawn. In contrast, the Missouri River was somewhat flatlined from the operations of Fort Peck Dam. During 2016, the Milk river saw prolonged discharge due to both prairie rains and the lowering of Nelson Reservoir in Phillips County. Subsequently, the Missouri River had slightly higher than average flow throughout the summer season in 2016.
