Tobacco Root Mountains Care Center - Unclaimed

This ZIP code spans a cluster of small communities in Montana’s Ruby Valley, including Brandon, Laurin, Ruby, Junction, Sheridan Trailer Court, Sheridan, Alder and Virginia City. The setting is rural and wide open, with valley farmland framed by mountain ranges and a high-elevation climate of cold winters and warm, dry summers. Virginia City’s preserved historic streets and buildings recall the region’s gold-rush era, while the Ruby River and surrounding public lands offer opportunities for fishing, walking and other outdoor recreation. Local dining, coffee and shopping are modest in scale, with services concentrated in Sheridan and Virginia City and broader choices farther afield. The area’s arts and cultural character is especially visible in Virginia City’s historic venues and seasonal events. Driving is the main way to connect the scattered communities; there is no major urban transit network.
