Used to work in Fort Benton. There are still people who run from Great Falls all the way to the Gulf in Kayak and Canoe trips.
It's a neat little town, several cool museums. There are about 1500 people living in a very small area. There are no stop lights and only a few stop signs in the entire town.
Do yourself a favor and look up the Fort Benton story about the mule and the cannon for a good laugh.

Reply to When this bridge in Fort Benton, Montana, USA was built 1888 it was required to have a swing span to allow steamboats to navigate. It was considered the furthest navigable point on Earth, more than 2,700 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. by triviafrenzy
