Montana Has the 'Most Remote Town' in the Lower 48
Montana encompasses 93 million acres.
We’re the 4th largest state with vast prairies and rugged mountains spread over 147,040 square miles of land. Locals share frustration with newcomers moving to the Treasure State, and despite hordes of out-of-staters moving in, Montana remains sparsely populated in most of the state. For example: Glasgow, MT is named the most remote town in the United States (excluding Alaska).

Glasgow, MT, population 3,200 is far away from everything.
Certainly, a handful of unincorporated hovels may be more isolated than Glasgow. Still, regarding a town – with a post office – located farthest from a city of 75,000 or more, Glasgow takes the title as most remote in the United States.

It’s about 4.5 hours from Glasgow to the larger cities like Billings, Great Falls, or Minot, ND. If you’ve got your passport, it’s a faster drive from Glasgow to Regina, Saskatchewan at just under 4 hours. TheTravel.com described Glasgow’s location as “rural America’s middle of nowhere.”

Get away from it all in Glasgow.
If that’s not their slogan, perhaps it should be. Established as a railroad town, Glasgow’s population boomed during the Cold War construction of Glasgow Air Force Base and the now (mostly) ghost town of nearby St. Marie. The base was decommissioned in 1976.

The city seems to embrace its title of the most remote town. On a city map shared by the Glasgow Chamber, verbiage reads “Welcome to the Middle of Nowhere!”

You’re not alone in Glasgow.
Sure, you’re four-and-a-half hours from any airport that can land a commercial jet, but it’s not like Glasgow is completely off-grid. There is a 25-bed hospital for routine medical care, they have an Albertson’s grocery store, hardware stores, a McDonald’s, and great local bars and restaurants, like Montana-famous Eugene’s Pizza.

Visit the roads less traveled in Montana.
For visitors looking for a “real” Montana experience, I’d encourage you to spend some time in places that aren’t Bozeman, Whitefish, Missoula, or Billings.
Check out the small communities around the Hi-Line or eastern Montana if you’d like to see what most of Montana was like 30 years ago. Progress moves slower in isolated places like Glasgow. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Griz outlast power outage, surge to big win – University of Montana Athletics
Montana reached the 100-point mark for the third time this season, winning 102-46 over the Salish Kootenai Bison. The Grizzlies improved to 6-5 on the season with the win.
As a team, Montana shot 70.5 from the floor and 44.0 percent from three-point range. It’s the first time since 1968 that Montana has shot over 70 percent from the floor in a game. It’s also the 5th best shooting percentage by a D-I team this season.
Money Williams had a double-double, his third of the season, finishing with 10 points and 11 assists. It’s the second time in Williams’ career that he has finished with 10 assists in a single game.
He wasn’t the only Grizzly to reach double figures in the assist department. Tyler Isaak recorded his first career double-double with a new career high 10 assists to go along with 16 points. It’s the first time in program history that two different players have recorded 10 or more assists in the same game.
It was a highly efficient night for Isaak, who played just 24 minutes and went 6-of-7 from the floor.
It was a complete team effort for Montana with 10 of the 11 players dressed scoring in the contest. Connor Dick (15) and Amari Jedkins (13) both scored career highs in the victory.

The Grizzlies had seven players reach double figures, the most in a single game in program history. Te’Jon Sawyer (13), Brooklyn Hicks (13), and Tyler Thompson (11) joined the previously four mentioned players in double figures.
The assists played a big role in that with Montana sharing the ball plenty. They recorded 30 team assists on the night, the second most in a game in program history. The Grizzlies had a 5:1 assist-to-turnover ratio on the night.

The Grizzlies held Salish Kootenai to just 27 percent shooting and a 6-of-30 (.200) mark from three-point range. Montana’s size played a huge factor on the night as the Grizzlies outrebounded the Bison 47-25 and outscored them 60-20 in the paint.
Montana scored 16 points off dunks as they broke out into the open court on several occasions for highlight reel slams. They also owned a 22-0 advantage in fastbreak points.
Montana jumped out to a 13-2 lead before the first media timeout and never looked back in win. They set the tone early from the three-point line, opening the game 4-of-7 from the arc to help build the early lead.
It was a balanced first half offensively and the Griz were able to go on five individual runs of at least six straight points with nine different players scoring in the opening 20 minutes. The Grizzlies went 8-of-17 from the arc and shot 65.5 percent from the field in the first half.
Williams’ 8th assist of the opening half went to Amari Jedkins. The Grizzly forward knocked down a corner three to send Montana into the halftime break ahead 50-17.

The Grizzlies didn’t let up in the second half, going on two separate 12-0 runs and winning the second period 52-29 for the big victory.
Montana will get a week off before returning home next Wednesday night to face Montana Tech at 7:00 p.m. The Orediggers are 8-3 on the season.
