Explore Bonner-West Riverside, Montana, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bonner-West Riverside, Montana. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Montana or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Bonner-West Riverside.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Bonner-West Riverside occupies a singular space where the swift, clear currents of the Blackfoot River exert a constant, audible pressure against the land. It lies 5.1 miles east of Missoula, MT (from Missoula, MT: bearing 86°T), and is situated 7.7 miles east of Orchard Homes. The physical character of Bonner-West Riverside is defined by the tension between the rushing water and the rugged, arid terrain that rises abruptly toward Mittower Gulch just a mile away. To the west, the distant, snow-dusted silhouette of the Rocky Mountains creates a jagged horizon that anchors the sky, while the local topography remains dominated by the riparian corridor of the river. The air here holds a distinct crispness, especially as the late afternoon light flattens against the sagebrush and pine, turning the valley into a study of muted ochre and deep, cooling shadows.
Industrial legacy remains etched into the soil of Bonner-West Riverside, where the ghosts of timber mills have gradually surrendered their footprint to the restorative efforts of Milltown State Park. This transition from a site of heavy extraction to a place of public restoration mirrors the slow shift in the regional economy, which now pivots toward recreation and the preservation of the riparian landscape. Residents of Bonner-West Riverside live in the quiet wake of these changes, watching as the river continues its ancient, indifferent work of carving through the valley floor. While Bull Lake remains a distant destination for those seeking a different pace of water, the local rhythm is dictated by the steady, unyielding flow of the Blackfoot River, a presence that gives the entire locality a sense of permanence amidst the seasonal cycle of the high country.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
