Setting
Montana 1948 is set in Mercer County, Montana. Mercer County is in the Northeast corner of Montan, 12 miles from Canada and 10 miles from North Dakota. The temperatures are extreme, once reaching 106 degrees in July and -40 in January. Mercer Country has flat plains and the only trees that grow are the ones that have been planted by people.
On the western edge of the county and extending into two other counties was the Warren Indian reservation. It was the rockiest, sadiest land in the county. in 1948 much of the reservation was unpaved and the huts looked like they couldn't hold back a breeze.
It's set in the summer of 1948 in Bentrock, Montana (in Mercer County). Bentrock has a population of less than 2000 people. Bentrock is mostly farm and ranch country. The land is dry and sparse, with plains, gullies, ravines, and low rocky hills. It is located on the Knife River, and is a relatively tranquil area of Montana.
