Sixteen, Montana

Sixteen is a former unincorporated community in southwestern Meagher County, Montana, United States.

[1] The town was a station stop on the transcontinental main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ("the Milwaukee Road"), and was a community center for a small number of area ranchers and homesteaders.

The town took its name from Sixteen Mile Creek, which runs through the narrow valley containing the village.

Sixteen Mile Canyon, immediately west of the town, was considered a scenic highlight of the Milwaukee Road line.

Eagle Nest Tunnel, one of the railroad's better-known engineering features, remains intact and is located about four miles west of Sixteen.
