History

The town site of Kirby was at Montana Highway 314 and Cache Creek Road. It was directly east of the Crow Indian Reservation and south of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in the Rosebud Creek valley. A post office was operational from 1895 until 1970 with the ZIP Code of 59042.

Kirby is a ghost town with no more than a couple remaining buildings, including the former post office.

gollark: At 85% efficiency my hydrogen-hydrogen reactor only makes 37kRF/t. Accounting for electromagnets, 17kRF/t or so. This is worse than the reactor powering it.
gollark: The power output is, really, very disappointing, though.
gollark: I have an excess of deuterium, though, and nothing to do with it.
gollark: Seems to be the case, according to my testing by moving a wire.
gollark: The power appears to be vanishing into the void. I suspect that the reactor is pushing into cables which aren't connected but are adjacent.
