Dupuyer sits at the edge of Montana's Rocky Mountain Front, where the Great Plains meet the mountains. This community of 142 residents in Pondera County serves a vast 217 square mile territory that stretches from prairie grasslands into foothill country. US Highway 89 runs through the area, providing access to wilderness destinations and ranch country along the Front.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery doesn't exist across this rural territory. The Dupuyer post office maintains 69 PO Boxes for 76 households, resulting in a 91% adoption rate. Residents, ranchers, and seasonal property owners all rely on the post office as their only mail access point.
Rural carrier routes serve the scattered homes and ranches. Two distinct rural routes cover the territory, delivering to addresses along roads named for local geography: Swift Dam Road, Dupuyer Creek Road, Middle Fork Road, and various ranch lanes like Rappold Ranch Lane and Anderson Ranch Lane. US Highway 89 serves as the main corridor through the area.
With a median age of 40.6 years and median household income of $71,250, Dupuyer supports a working-age population. Census data shows 27% of workers in public administration (likely government land management agencies), 21% in agriculture (ranching), and 35% in transportation and warehousing. The area includes just 3 business establishments with 1 employee, indicating this isn't a commercial center but a residential and ranching community.
Dupuyer's street names tell the story of this place. Swift Dam Road leads toward the reservoir and recreation areas in the mountains. Dupuyer Creek Road follows the waterway that gave the town its name. Roads like Old Beaverslide Lane and Gypsy Basin Road reference ranching history and local landscape features. US Highway 89 connects Dupuyer north to Browning and Glacier National Park, south to Great Falls.
The housing stock shows 109 total units with 76 occupied and 33 vacant. About 10% of vacant units (11 of 33) are seasonal properties used for recreation or occasional ranch visits. With a median home value of $234,400 and high car ownership (27 drive alone, 21 carpool for 48 total commuters), this community consists of property owners with vehicles necessary for rural life and work.
Street names reference local waterways (Dupuyer Creek), infrastructure (Swift Dam), ranches (Rappold Ranch, Anderson Ranch, TRM Ranch), and the main highway corridor connecting to Glacier National Park.
