How to Use This Froid, Montana Map

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

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.

Froid occupies a vast, high-plains expanse where the horizon stretches thin and taut, pulling the pale sky down to meet the earth. It lies 42.4 miles west-northwest of Williston, ND (from Williston, ND: bearing 288°T), and is situated 45.5 miles north-northwest of Sidney. Sheep Creek carves a shallow, seasonal path through the dry grasses, its bed a persistent reminder of the water that once shaped this prairie. To the west, the land rises toward the distant silhouette of Sugar Top Hill, a solitary landmark that anchors the view against the immense, shifting light of the afternoon. A mile away, the Montana State Trust Lands offer a quiet refuge of native soil, while four miles to the north, the still surface of Homestead Lake reflects the passing clouds with a glassy, unblinking clarity. The air here carries the scent of dry grain and sage, a sharpening influence that makes the stillness of the landscape feel deliberate rather than empty.

Froid serves as a quiet center for the surrounding agricultural life, where the rhythm of the year is dictated by the turning of the soil and the cycles of the harvest. Established through the reach of the rail line, the settlement grew as a necessary node for the farmers who broke the thick sod of the surrounding plains. The local economy remains tied to the patience of the land, with grain silos standing as the primary architecture of the horizon, punctuating the skyline like sentinels of the wheat trade. While the deeper history of this region echoes with the legacy of the indigenous peoples who traversed these plains long before the fences arrived, the present day in Froid is defined by a rigorous, quiet resilience. Life moves with the slow, steady pace of a season, where the challenges of the climate are met with the same matter-of-fact endurance that has defined the people of this stretch of the high plains for generations.

About This Froid Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Froid, Montana. Coordinates: 48.334467, -104.496066. 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 Froid includes the ZIP code (59226), telephone area code (406), county seat of Roosevelt County (Wolf Point), and school district assignment (Froid 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.
