Malta was one of the very first small towns I ever saw in Montana. During my first visit to Montana in 2002 I visited this area of Montana just to see a small ranch that I had purchased there over the Internet. I traveled extensively on the dirt and back roads that exist in the Malta area and was impressed with the big sky, rolling hills and abundant wildlife along the Milk River.
Probably because I had spent many days out in the middle of no-where, from the Miles City area to the Charles Russell Wildlife Refuge, when I arrived in Malta it seemed liked Shangri la to me. True, Malta is a small town, with a population of only 2000 people. And the county Malta is located in, Phillips County, is hardly bursting with people either (total county population of 5000 people). Yet, after spending several days in the remote sections of the Montana prairie, Malta had everything that someone longing for civilization could ever want. Just limit your desires to basketball, as it is the areas main sports for school children.
Like most of the “larger” eastern Montana towns, Malta is self-contained. While it is lacking in the retail box stores and other big retail establishments, Malta has all the basic stores a person needs, including a small movie theatre. Several small restaurants are also in town, some of which are pretty good. Moreover, Malta itself is a pretty nice town. There is great little park is located right downtown.
Malta is similar to other eastern Montana towns. Malta is dealing with population decline due to the consolidation of the agricultural industry and CRP programs which improve wildlife habitats. You will find some empty buildings in and around the downtown area. Moreover, Malta and Phillips County has been unsuccessful in attracting new businesses and industries. The largest employer in the county is the school system followed by county government. Thus Malta has retained the small town American flavor.
For those in search of outdoor recreation other than hunting on our ranch, Malta is located in a pretty nice location. The 15,000 acres Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge is located just to the east of town and provides some splendid hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities. More than half the refuge is wetlands. At the refuge, hundreds of species of birds are present, making it an ideal place for bird watching. Other wildlife present on the refuge includes whitetail deer, upland birds and pronghorn antelope.
Malta is also becoming known as the “dinosaur capital” of Montana. The Phillips County Museum contains a large and growing collection of dinosaur artifacts and is also home to the Judith River Dinosaur Institute. Visitors to Malta can sign up for dinosaur exploration tours with the Institute. We also allow people to survey our private lands for Dino bones.... With written permission and no keeping of artifacts.
When hunting at our Wilson Ranch, Malta will be the only nearby town. Malta is about 3-4 hours north of Billings. The roads from Billings to Malta are all paved and fairly flat so if you want to travel as if it is an autobahn, then it may only be 2.5 hours from Billings!!!
Our Wilson Ranch is 15 minutes north of Malta off 191.
