A view from 1939:

COLUMBUS, (3,624 alt., 835 pop.), seat of Stillwater County, began as a stage station on the Yellowstone Trail. Lying between the large sheep and cattle ranches to the south, and the wheat farms to the north, it developed as a trade center and snipping point. This is the railroad station nearest to a comparatively uncommercialized mountain recreational region on the headwaters of the Stillwater River.
