What it’s like
The place. Wibaux is a very small town in eastern Montana, close to the North Dakota line, where neighbors tend to know one another. Winters are cold, with plenty of snow, and summers are warm; the air is on the dry side of the country for rain and melted snow, which is something the weather record supports. Incomes run a little below what many Montana households see, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in farming, forestry and mining, with others in the building trades and government. Across Wibaux County, the largest workplace is Wibaux K-12 Schools. Unemployment has eased over the past year, and the county has added jobs compared with the year before.
Things to do. Makoshika State Park, a protected area of badlands known for its fossils, is a longer drive away. Lamesteer National Wildlife Refuge, another protected area, is also a longer drive. For a rainy or snowy day, the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum and the Makoshika Dinosaur Museum are both a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Wibaux’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Wibaux County.
