释义 |
The Regional designations of Montana vary widely within the U.S state of Montana. The state is a large geographical area ({{convert|147,046|sqmi|km2}}) that is split by the Continental Divide, resulting in watersheds draining into the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Hudson's Bay. The state is approximately {{convert|545|mi|km}} east to west along the Canada–United States border and {{convert|320|mi|km}} north to south. The fourth largest state in land area, it has been divided up in official and unofficial ways into a variety of regions. Additionally, Montana is part of a number of larger federal government administrative regions. Unofficial designationsVarious parts of Montana have been given a number of formal and informal names, including:

National Weather ServiceMontana is part of the Western Region of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service (NWS). The NWS maintains four regional offices in Montana.[28]
The NWS designates regional weather reports originating from these offices as Southeastern Montana, Northeastern Montana, Central Montana and Western Montana/Central Idaho.[29] Social Security AdministrationMontana is included in the Denver Region of the Social Security Administration along with Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Utah.[30] U.S. Army Corps of EngineersMontana is included in the Omaha District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Northwestern Division.[31] Climate regionsIn the Köppen climate classification system, Montana is predominantly a BSk (Semi-arid or Steppe) climate, with the Mountainous areas, mostly in the western parts of the state, listed as Dfb (humid continental). Areas near Granite Peak and the highest elevations in Glacier National Park are Dfc (Continental subarctic), and a small area in the northwestern corner of the state near the Idaho border listed as Dsb (Warm summer continental).[32] The United States Department of Agriculture places most of Montana in Plant Hardiness Zones 3 and 4, with limited areas in zone 5 with a small sliver of the state centered in Sanders County in zone 6. These zone boundaries correspond closely to the Köppen classifications.[33] For purposes of the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, which provides minimum insulation standards for home construction based on climate, the entire state is classified in climate zone 6, reauiring higher levels of insulation than are recommended in more temperate climates.[34] Notes1. ^{{cite book |last=Vichorek |first=Daniel N. |title=The Hi-Line, Profiles of a Montana Land |publisher=American World and Geographic Publishing |location=Helena, Montana |year=1993 |isbn=1-56037-021-1 |page=7}} {{Montana}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://americanprofile.com/articles/montanas-golden-triangle/|title=Montana’s Golden Triangle|website=American Profile|publisher=|accessdate=7 January 2015}} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Rees |first=Tony |title=Arc of the Medicine Line-Mapping the World's Longest Undefended Border Across the Western Plains |publisher=University of Nebraska Press |location=Lincoln, NE |year=2007 |isbn=978-0-8032-1791-1 |page=5}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://visitmt.com/Places_To_Go/ |title=Montana Official Travel Site-Regions |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://custer.visitmt.com/ |title=Custer Country, Montana |accessdate=2011-06-13}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.glaciermt.com/index.php |title=Glacier Country, Montana |accessdate=2011-06-11}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://goldwest.visitmt.com/communities/ |title=Gold West Country Communities |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://missouririver.visitmt.com/ |title=Montana's Missouri River Country |accessdate=2011-06-11}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://russell.visitmt.com/specialinterest/areamap/ |title=Montana's Russell Country-Area Map |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://yellowstonecountry.net/MOTRegion.php |title=Montana's Yellowstone Country-Map of Region |accessdate=2011-06-07 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307234241/http://yellowstonecountry.net/MOTRegion.php |archivedate=2012-03-07 |df= }} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://fwp.mt.gov/regions/ |title=Fish and Wildlife Regions |publisher=Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks|accessdate=2011-05-29}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://fwp.mt.gov/regions/r1/ |title=FWP Region 1 |publisher=Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks |accessdate=2011-05-31}} 13. ^{{cite web |url=http://fwp.mt.gov/regions/r2/ |title=FWP Region 2 |publisher=Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 14. ^{{cite web |url=http://fwp.mt.gov/regions/r3/ |title=FWP Region 3 |publisher=Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 15. ^{{cite web |url=http://fwp.mt.gov/regions/r4/ |title=FWP Region 4 |publisher=Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 16. ^{{cite web |url=http://fwp.mt.gov/regions/r5/ |title=FWP Region 5 |publisher=Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks |accessdate=2011-06-10}} 17. ^{{cite web |url=http://fwp.mt.gov/regions/r6/ |title=FWP Region 6 |publisher=Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks |accessdate=2011-06-10}} 18. ^{{cite web |url=http://fwp.mt.gov/regions/r7/ |title=FWP Region 7 |publisher=Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks |accessdate=2011-06-10}} 19. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/ |title=Mountain-Prairie Region |publisher=U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service |accessdate=2011-05-29}} 20. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bia.gov/groups/webteam/documents/interactiveresource/idc-002651.swf |title=Indian Affairs-Rocky Mountain Region |publisher=U.S. Department of the Interior |accessdate=2011-05-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110228190612/http://www.bia.gov/groups/webteam/documents/interactiveresource/idc-002651.swf |archivedate=2011-02-28 |df= }} 21. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/RegionalOffices/RockyMountain/WeAre/Blackfeet/index.htm |title=Blackfeet Agency |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 22. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/RegionalOffices/RockyMountain/WeAre/Crow/index.htm |title=Crow Agency |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 23. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/RegionalOffices/RockyMountain/WeAre/FortBelknap/index.htm |title=Fort Belknap Agency |accessdate=2011-06-07 }} 24. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/RegionalOffices/RockyMountain/WeAre/FortPeck/index.htm |title=Fort Peck Agency |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 25. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/RegionalOffices/RockyMountain/WeAre/NorthernCheyenne/index.htm |title=Northern Cheyenne Agency |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 26. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/RegionalOffices/RockyMountain/WeAre/RockyBoys/index.htm |title=Rocky Boy's Agency |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 27. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.blm.gov/mt/st/en.html |title=Montana-Dakotas |publisher=U.S. Department of Interior |accessdate=2011-05-29}} 28. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.weather.gov/organization.php |title=NOAA NWS Offices and Centers |accessdate=2011-06-07}} 29. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nws.noaa.gov/outlook_tab.php|title=National Maps -
