Muddy, MT

Muddy is a small, quiet community set along the banks of Muddy Creek in southern Montana's Big Horn County. Located on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, it has long been home to the Muddy Creek Band of the Northern Cheyenne, whose traditional name for the area refers to yellow paint clay found along the creek. Wide-open pastures, pine-covered hills, and deep family ties give the community its peaceful, rural character.

Most daily services and shopping are just down the road. U.S. Highway 212 runs directly through the area, making the five-mile trip into Lame Deer quick and easy for schools, healthcare, tribal government services, and local events. For anyone getting to know the region, Muddy offers a relaxed, country setting rooted in rich tribal history and vast Montana landscapes.
