The town served area ranchers and homesteaders.(Copyright 2009, <I>Montana Historical Society: Montana Place Names from Alzada to Zortman</I>, Montana Historical Society Research Center Staff)</p><p>Brusett is northwest of Jordan in Garfield county; one of the more isolated parts of the state. The main reason for this isolation is that the railroad never arrived. Today, the wide-open areas around Brusett are known for ranches and farms, which are producers of cattle, sheep and winter wheat.</p> <map name="nearbycities"><area shape="rect" alt="Brusett, Montana" coords="68,68,104,87" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=46"><area shape="rect" alt="Jordan, Montana" coords="108,89,162,121" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=184"><area shape="rect" alt="Sand Springs, Montana" coords="39,132,106,153" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=297"><area shape="rect" alt="Cohagen, Montana" coords="168,158,216,182" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=67"><area shape="rect" alt="Ingomar, Montana" coords="33,232,76,244" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=177"><area shape="rect" alt="Sumatra, Montana" coords="11,216,50,230" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=320"><area shape="default" nohref></map>1104333BRUSETTMISSOURI RIVERMT59318
