Explore Fair Haven 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 Fair Haven 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 Fair Haven 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.

Fair Haven Colony occupies a quiet expanse of high plains where the horizon stretches toward the jagged, snow-dusted silhouette of the Rocky Mountains ninety miles to the west. It lies 16.7 miles west-southwest of Great Falls, MT (from Great Falls, MT: bearing 247°T), and is situated 22.0 miles west-southwest of Malmstrom AFB. Dry Fork carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth just a mile from the center, its seasonal pulse providing a meager but vital moisture to the grasses that turn a brittle, pale gold under the relentless summer sun. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the terrain opens into the sweeping, sun-bleached expanse of the Ulm Flats, where the light at dusk flattens the landscape into long, indigo shadows that seem to swallow the distance. The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity that makes the distant peaks appear deceptively close, a reminder of the immense, unpeopled spaces that define the character of the region.
Montana State Trust Lands surround the settlement, serving as a reminder of the agrarian legacies that first drew people to this austere, wind-raked geography. Fair Haven Colony persists as a place of deliberate, slow-moving industry, where the economy remains tethered to the rhythms of ranching and the maintenance of the dry-land wheat fields that ripple toward the horizon. Life here is measured by the seasonal shift in wind and the infrequent, heavy silence that settles over the plains when the chores are done and the machinery falls still. Residents occasionally look toward the distant, thundering spray of Castner Falls or the stillness of Rocky Reef Reservoir for a change in scenery, but the daily existence of the people is firmly rooted in the resilient, stubborn earth of these high plains.

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.
