Explore Camrose Colony, 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 Camrose Colony, 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 Camrose Colony.
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.

Camrose Colony occupies a vast stretch of high, open prairie where the horizon pulls the eye toward a sky of immense, unclouded clarity. It lies 57.8 miles north-northwest of Great Falls, MT (from Great Falls, MT: bearing 346°T), and is situated 17.5 miles southeast of Shelby. The land here is defined by the subtle, rhythmic swell of the earth, leading toward the quiet expanse of Atkinson Flat just a few miles to the west. A mile from the dwellings, the Jim Judisch Reservoir holds the stillness of the plains in its basin, while the Marias River carves its path four miles distant, drawing life through the arid soil. Far to the west, the jagged, snow-dusted edges of the Rocky Mountains trace a faint, blue silhouette against the twilight, a reminder of the scale of the world beyond these grasses. When the sun dips low, the light turns the dry stalks of the fields into a pale, burnished copper, casting long shadows that seem to stretch across the entire breadth of the state.
Camrose Colony maintains a deliberate, self-sustaining existence that honors a heritage of communal labor and traditional agricultural practice. The local economy remains anchored in the stubborn resilience of dryland farming and livestock husbandry, activities that dictate the seasonal pulse of the day. Nearby, the Montana State Trust Lands provide a sprawling buffer of open range, preserving the rugged character of the surrounding territory from the encroachment of modern development. Life in Camrose Colony moves with the measured pace of the seasons, where the primary concerns are the moisture of the soil and the success of the harvest. There is a quiet gravity in the way the residents work the land, a focused attention that ignores the frantic noise of the wider world in favor of the immediate, tangible rewards of a life lived close to the earth.

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.
