The importance of oil and agriculture to Powell's economy has earned the city the motto "Where Oil and Water Mix." As a result, a large number of affiliated and supportive industries have arisen in the area. These firms include oil field equipment and service companies, drilling contractors, farm implement retailers, feed and fertilizer dealers, elevators, agricultural cooperatives, irrigation supply companies, trucking firms, machine shops and retail establishments.
Wild game exists in its natural habitat in Powell Valley, thus providing an opportunity for sportsmen and non-sportsmen to enjoy the abundance of wildlife. Several including Big Horn Lake and Buffalo Bill Reservoir are large enough for boating, water-skiing and wind surfing. The nearby Beartooth Mountains offer unlimited possibilities to the avid climber. During the winter months, Powell residents can capitalize on the white wonderland in the nearby mountains and Yellowstone Park.
