Quietus is a unincorporated community located in Big Horn County, Montana. It appears on the U.S. Geological Survey Map.

History

Quietus was established as a post office in 1907 to service homesteaders and ranchers living in the valleys of the Otter and Quietus Creeks. Though never a large community, the local population eventually dwindled to less than a dozen residents, until the post office closed in 1957. Today, Quietus is a "ghost town," the loop road and the post office building remains, though it has collapsed.
