A Quiet Prairie Outpost on the Little Missouri River

Capitol is a remote hamlet in far southeastern Montana, set on open rangeland near the South Dakota line. The settlement consists of a handful of farms, a couple of small cemeteries, and Little Missouri Lutheran Church, a Carpenter Gothic prairie church that serves as its most recognizable landmark. With no incorporated center, Capitol functions as a quiet waypoint in eastern Carter County, tied historically to dryland ranching and the sparse road network that links the county to the Dakotas. - AsNotedIn
