  1. This is somewhat unusual for acreage to go for $4000/acre in Roosevelt County, Mt. Montana must be getting very active with promising results.

    1. Don't quote me on this, but I think the parcel is on the North Dakota/Montana state line west of Williston. It may be mostly in Montana but it's "North Dakota" in quality, I bet. But again, I am basing it on a very small map at the BLM site.
