Everything about Powder River Montana totally explained
The
Powder River is a tributary of the
Yellowstone River, approximately long in the southeastern
Montana and northeastern
Wyoming in the
United States. It drains an area historically known as the
Powder River Country on the
high plains east of the
Bighorn Mountains.
It rises in three forks in eastern Wyoming. The North and Middle forks rise along the eastern slope of the Bighorn Mountains. The South Fork rises on the north slope of
Garfield Peak in the
Granite Mountains west of
Casper. The three forks meet on the foothills east of the Bighorns near the town of
Kaycee. The combined stream flows northward, east of the Bighorns, and into Montana. It is joined by the
Little Powder near the town of
Broadus, and joins the Yellowstone approximately downriver from
Miles City, Montana. The Powder River was so named because the sand along a portion of its banks resembled gunpowder.
The
Powder River Basin near the Montana/Wyoming border is a major source of low-sulfur
coal mined in the United States.
