Myers is a small, quiet place located in central Treasure County, Montana. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a settlement that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town would.
Discovering Myers, Montana
Myers is nestled right along the famous Yellowstone River. This river is well-known for its beautiful scenery and wildlife. The community is found by following local roads, just west of Hysham. Hysham is an important town because it is the county seat for Treasure County. A county seat is like the main town where the county government offices are located.
How High is Myers?
Myers sits at an elevation of 2,680 feet (which is about 817 meters) above sea level. This means it's quite a bit higher than places closer to the ocean!
A Glimpse into Myers' Past
Like many small communities, Myers once had its own post office. This post office first opened its doors on October 31, 1911. It served the local residents for many years, helping them send and receive mail. However, the post office eventually closed on November 7, 1975. Even though the post office is gone, Myers remains a part of Montana's rich history.
