Alzada, Montana

Alzada (also known as Stoneville and Telegraph Point) is a census-designated place in southern Carter County, Montana, United States.

[3] It is located at the intersection of U.S. Route 212 with Montana Secondary Highways 323 and 326, near the Wyoming and South Dakota borders.

It was the site of a gun battle in 1884 between local authorities and rustlers known as the Axleby gang.

In 1890, Private Peter Thompson, a 7th Cavalry survivor and recipient of the Medal of Honor for the Battle of the Little Bighorn, moved from Lead, Dakota Territory, with his brother William and homesteaded north of Alzada on the Little Missouri River at Nine Mile Creek.

[citation needed] Alzada was briefly in the news in September 1997, when a B-1 bomber crashed nearby.
