Stillwater County Initiates Study for Flood Recovery and Mitigation
US · Published Jun 28, 2026
Stillwater County in Montana, USA, has launched a $230,000 master study of the Stillwater River Basin to address the long-term impacts of the June 2022 floods.
These floods caused significant damage by reshaping the river channel, depositing sediment across agricultural lands, and inundating residential areas.

Impact & Risks

The June 2022 floods in Stillwater County caused widespread damage, including swamped yards, outbuildings, and roads. The reshaped river channel and sediment deposits have disrupted agricultural activities and increased the risk of future flooding. Without effective mitigation, residents and landowners in the area remain vulnerable to similar events, which could lead to further economic and environmental losses.
