Powderville, also Elkhorn Crossing is an unincorporated community in northeastern Powder River County, Montana, United States, along the Powder River. It is a small cluster of buildings that lies along local roads northeast of the town of Broadus, the county seat of Powder River County.〔Rand McNally. ''The Road Atlas '08.'' Chicago: Rand McNally, 2008, p. 61.〕 Its elevation is 2,828 feet (862 m).〔 ==History== Powderville was first established on November 1, 1878, by 9th U.S. Infantry soldiers from Camp Devin along the banks of the Powder River in Montana Territory as the Powder River Telegraph Station on the Deadwood, Dakota Territory to Fort Keogh, Montana Territory telegraph line. From December, 1878 until 1885, Private Leopold Hohman of Company E, 5th U.S. Infantry was in charge of the station, with Privates J. Broderick and L. Smith of the same regiment assigned there as telegraph repairmen. On April 5, 1879, the first event of the Mizpah Creek incidents in which a group of Lakota Sioux shot two U.S. army soldiers occurred near the station. In 1885 Powderville became a stage stop when the Deadwood to Miles City, Montana stage coach line was built along the route of the Deadwood telegraph line, crossing the Powder River at Elkhorn Crossing. Although Powderville is unincorporated, it had a post office with the ZIP code of 59345, from 1885 until 2011.〔(Zip Code Lookup )〕 Powderville has its own Boot Hill Cemetery. It is located on a hill overlooking the old post office.
