With mountain backdrops in all directions, Dillon is
situated in a sweeping valley into which the Ruby,
Big Hole and Beaverhead rivers drain. Dillon has a Courthouse
placed at the end of a street, as well as rows of Western
buildings. The area was central to early Montana mining
camps and settlements. Bannack, Montana's first
territorial capital and now a well-preserved ghost town,
is nearby.
