How to Use This Churchill, Montana Map

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

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 Churchill, Montana

Churchill is a locality in Gallatin County, Montana, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,030. The population density is 112.0 people per km². Churchill is located at 45.7508°N, 111.3044°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59741.

Churchill emerges from the vast, open expanse of the Gallatin Valley as a singular point of order amidst the high-altitude agriculture of the region. It lies 6.4 miles west-southwest of Belgrade, MT (from Belgrade, MT: bearing 254°T), and is situated 7.4 miles south of Manhattan. Godfrey Creek carves a quiet, persistent path through the landscape, its waters feeding the verdant fields that define the immediate perimeter of Churchill. To the east, the jagged, snow-dusted silhouette of the Bridger Range rises against the horizon, anchoring the sky and lending a sense of permanence to the horizon. The light here possesses a particular clarity, turning the long grasses of the nearby Montana State Trust Lands into a pale, shifting gold that seems to vibrate against the deep azure of the Montana afternoon. Godfrey Canyon offers a subtle topographic transition, grounding the settlement in a basin where the air remains crisp, thin, and remarkably still.

Agriculture remains the primary pulse of Churchill, a legacy inherited from the Dutch settlers who arrived in the early twentieth century to cultivate this fertile soil. The rhythm of daily life follows the seasonal requirements of grain production and livestock, creating a steady, purposeful atmosphere that defines the local character. While Lyman Creek Reservoir lies a distance away, its presence is felt in the careful management of water rights that sustains the local economy. The architecture of the area—sturdy, functional, and unadorned—speaks to a culture that prioritizes labor and community cohesion over artifice. It is a place where the scale of the environment dwarfs human endeavor, yet the inhabitants maintain a quiet, industrious pride in the harvest that emerges from the earth year after year.

About This Churchill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Churchill, Montana. Coordinates: 45.750762, -111.304402. 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 Churchill includes the ZIP code (59741), telephone area code (406), county seat of Gallatin County (Bozeman), and school district assignment (Amsterdam Elementary School District).

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.
