How to Use This Denton, Montana Map

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

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.

Denton emerges from the vast, golden expanse of the high plains, where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the sun whole. It lies 64.5 miles east of Great Falls, MT (from Great Falls, MT: bearing 101°T), and is situated 30.2 miles northwest of Lewistown. The landscape is defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Wolf Creek, which meanders through the terrain and serves as a quiet lifeline for the surrounding soil. To the west, the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains haunt the skyline, reminders of a rugged verticality far removed from the gentle, sweeping grasses of the local basin. Just a few miles away, the Montana State Trust Lands offer a expanse of open range that preserves the stark, unadorned character of the prairie. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, turning the dry stalks of wheat into thin needles of copper against a sky that fades from bruised violet to an ink-black void.

Denton retains the quiet endurance of a settlement built on the hard necessity of agriculture, where the rhythm of the year is dictated by the planting and the harvest. Life in Denton moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands the weight of immense distances, where neighbors remain connected by the shared endurance of long winters and the labor of the land. The economy remains tethered to the soil, echoing the history of those who first broke the sod and laid the foundations of the local grain trade. While the bustling world feels light-years away, the community finds its own distinct gravity, evidenced by the weathered structures that stand as silent witnesses to decades of wind and work. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain shifts toward the subtle depressions of Pacer Coulee, marking the transition into a landscape that has remained largely unchanged by the frantic pace of the modern century.

About This Denton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Denton, Montana. Coordinates: 47.319695, -109.947418. 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 Denton includes the ZIP code (59430), telephone area code (406), county seat of Fergus County (Lewistown), and school district assignment (Denton High 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.
