Powder River: Hell’s Half Acre on Route 20

Hell’s Half Acre is a canyon filled with jagged rocks in an otherwise flat and desolate environment. The gorge is around 150 feet deep and is approximately 320 acres in size. Not much remains from the filming however besides a few spent blank shells. Nonetheless, the area is well worth checking out as it is so different than anything you will ever see. Thus, it was an obvious choice for an alien environment for Starship Troopers. Above the jagged formations sits a real piece of Americana - a simple diner that cooks up whatever you want and offers a plethora of souveniers for visitors to buy. The odd sign of the restaurant features a devil welcoming all newcomers.
