possible meteor crater

I took this photo from a passenger jet window, while flying over Montana. I have done research and have determined the exact location of this site. The crater is aprox. one mile in diameter and the perimeter circular ridge is aprox. 400 ft. high. This site is NOT designated a meteor site ANYWHERE and i believe it is a meteor crater site. I have not been able to locate any agency to investigate this siteto determine the origine of this site.The USGS does not have personal in this region. If any one has any ideas or information as to who to contac that would be interested in investigating this site let me know.
Thank you......Ron

Clearly an impact crater.

SURE LOOKS LIKE A CRATER; WONDER HOW IT LOOKS SNOWLESS.

You might try the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology http://www.mbmg.mtech.edu/ Did you try Google Earth?

The surrounding terrain gives me the impression that this may be a volcanic crater, rather than an impact crater.
