How to Use This Cooke City, Montana Map

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

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.

Cooke City emerges from the high-altitude silence as a rugged outpost where the crystalline waters of Woody Creek carve a path through the valley floor. It lies 70.5 miles southeast of Bozeman, MT (from Bozeman, MT: bearing 130°T), and is situated 54.8 miles northwest of Cody. The landscape is dominated by the formidable, jagged presence of the Absaroka Range, which rises to cast long, violet shadows across the terrain as the sun retreats behind the peaks. High above the timberline, the ancient ice of Grasshopper Glacier holds a frigid, static watch over the wilderness, while the nearby Ram Pasture offers a broad, grassy basin that serves as a sanctuary for wandering elk. Within the boundaries of Gallatin National Forest, the air carries a sharp, pine-scented clarity that feels thin and exhilarating to the lungs, a reminder of the immense elevation that defines this corner of the world.

History remains etched into the very soil of Cooke City, a place born of the restless ambition of nineteenth-century prospectors who sought fortune in the veins of the earth. Though the clamor of the mining era has long since faded into a quiet, seasonal rhythm, the local economy now turns on the steady pulse of travelers drawn to the Republic Trail and the pristine solitude of the high country. Residents and visitors alike find a shared purpose in the stewardship of this environment, whether they are navigating the deep winter snows or traversing the rugged paths that lead toward the secluded shores of Snow Lake. Life in Cooke City moves with the deliberate pace of the changing seasons, marked by the persistent, murmuring flow of the creek and the vast, unpopulated distance that separates these few dwellings from the frantic velocity of the outside world.

About This Cooke City Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cooke City, Montana. Coordinates: 45.01869, -109.9119. 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 Cooke City includes the ZIP code (59020), telephone area code (406), county seat of Park County (Livingston), and school district assignment (Cooke City 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.
