How to Use This Charlos Heights, Montana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Charlos Heights, 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 Charlos Heights.
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.

About Charlos Heights, Montana

Charlos Heights is located at 46.1345°N, 114.1885°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59840.Charlos Heights marks the northern transition where the open, sun-bleached plains yield to the disciplined reach of the Bitterroot River. It lies 52.3 miles south of Missoula, MT (from Missoula, MT: bearing 190°T), and is situated 8.4 miles south of Hamilton. The Bitterroot River cuts a deliberate path through the basin, its cold, clear current shaping the low-lying benches that define the local topography. To the west, the jagged, snow-dusted silhouettes of the Bitterroot Range dominate the horizon, standing as a silent, geologic boundary against the sky. The air here carries a crisp, thin quality, frequently tasting of sagebrush and the damp, pine-heavy breath of the nearby Bitterroot National Forest, which begins its climb just two miles from the center of Charlos Heights.
Agriculture and the quiet persistence of timber work have long anchored the economy, leaving the landscape punctuated by weathered barns and the rhythmic rotation of seasonal harvests. Residents often look toward the Ward Mountain Trail for recreation, a five-mile trek that offers a vantage point over the rugged expanse of McKinney Gulch. While the demands of modern industry have shifted, the pace in Charlos Heights remains tethered to the slow cycles of the land and the distant, shimmering surface of Goat Lake. Life here unfolds with a deliberate gravity, defined by the long shadows cast by the mountains and the enduring, quiet labor of those who call these high, dry reaches home.

About This Charlos Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Charlos Heights, Montana. Coordinates: 46.134516, -114.188541. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Charlos Heights includes the ZIP code (59840), telephone area code (406), county seat of Ravalli County (Hamilton), and school district assignment (Darby K-12 Schools).
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.
