The county seat, Amidon, is the smallest county seat in the USA with only 24 people. Even though a county seat, Amidon is so small that Rand McNally does not index it in their Road Atlas. Amidon is the seat of government for the county and the courthouse is there. Research on the Internet about Slope County provided very little information and only one picture. I decided then that I'd photograph as much as I could in Amidon, Marmarth, and the surrounding countryside and build this webpage.
Slope County is in far southwestern North Dakota on the border with Montana and near South Dakota.
A beautiful river, The Little Missouri, wanders back and forth through western Slope County. There are no interstates in Slope County. US Highways 12 and 85 are the major throughways. Numerous gravel county roads provide access to the ranches and ranching is the primary occupation in the county. Railroad service is provided in the SW corner of the county.
