Little Thompson River (Montana)

The Little Thompson River is a tributary of the Milk River, located in the state of Montana, United States. It is a relatively short river, flowing primarily through Blaine County in north-central Montana. The river's course is largely within the Milk River Basin.

Characterized by its arid surroundings, the Little Thompson River's flow is often intermittent or ephemeral, varying significantly depending on seasonal precipitation and snowmelt from the nearby Bear Paw Mountains. The surrounding landscape is dominated by prairie and agricultural land.

The river is primarily used for irrigation purposes, supporting local agricultural operations. Ranching is also a significant land use in the area. Its water resources, while limited, are critical to the local economy and ecosystem. Specific data regarding its length, drainage area, and flow rates may be available through the United States Geological Survey (USGS) or other relevant state agencies.
