How to Use This Butte, Montana Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Butte, 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 Butte.

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.

Butte rises from the high ground like a testament to the stubborn persistence of stone and metal. It lies 47.1 miles south-southwest of Helena, MT (from Helena, MT: bearing 211°T), and is situated 21.4 miles east-southeast of Anaconda. The light at dusk here catches the dust of the high plains, turning the rugged terrain into a study of deep amber and cooling gray. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the landscape opens into the vast, broken expanse of Whiskey Gulch, where the shadows stretch long and thin against the earth. Silver Bow Creek marks the low point of the local topography, carving a path through the land that has seen the slow shift of seasons for generations. West Side Reservoir remains a quiet presence nearby, offering a stillness that contrasts with the persistent wind moving across the open country. Far off on the horizon, the jagged, snow-dusted edges of the Rocky Mountains trace a jagged line against the expanse of the sky.

Butte grew from the earth itself, built on the heavy labor of men who sought the veins of copper buried deep beneath the surface. The economy remains tethered to this legacy, shifting from the raw extraction of the past toward a modern effort to reclaim and revitalize the scarred ground. Industry once dictated the rhythm of every household, leaving behind a landscape defined by the remnants of mines and the pride of those who worked them. The local character is forged by this history, favoring a directness and grit that persists long after the booms have faded into memory. Even now, the air carries a faint, metallic memory of the work that defined the early growth of Butte. Today, the economy balances these industrial roots with a new, slower pace of life that respects the heavy work of the ancestors.

Charley Judd Park serves as a quiet center for the life of the people, a green space where the pace of the afternoon slows to a human scale. The cultural identity is deeply influenced by the diverse origins of the miners who arrived from across the world, bringing their specific traditions and songs to the high altitude. Evel Knievel remains the most recognizable figure to emerge from these streets, his daring spirit mirroring the unpredictable nature of the land itself. Notable landmarks stand as quiet observers of the changing decades, their architecture reflecting the wealth and ambition of a time when the world looked toward the mountains for its fortune. Community events frequently gather neighbors together, reinforcing the bonds formed in a place where the winters are long and the distances between small clusters of light are immense. Life here is defined by a sense of place that does not ask for permission, rooted firmly in the reality of the high plains.
