Explore Hartland 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 Hartland 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 Hartland 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.

Hartland Colony maintains a quiet vigil over the vast, arid expanse of the high plains, where the horizon stretches into an infinite, pale blue distance. It lies 131.6 miles northeast of Great Falls, MT (from Great Falls, MT: bearing 40°T), and is situated 29.7 miles north-northeast of Havre. The landscape surrounding Hartland Colony is defined by the subtle, dry creases of Woodpile Coulee and the persistent, low-slung presence of the prairie, which shifts in color from a brittle, sun-bleached gold in the heat of August to a muted, frosted gray as winter approaches. A mile to the east, the thin, winding ribbon of Battle Creek offers a meager reprieve for the thirsty soil, while the distant, jagged silhouette of the Rocky Mountains remains a faint, hazy memory on the western edge of the world. The air here holds a distinct, metallic sharpness, carrying the scent of parched sage and the stillness of a place where the wind is the only constant observer.
Agriculture serves as the slow, steady pulse of life, dictated by the unforgiving demands of the seasons and the management of the nearby Montana State Trust Lands. Generations have worked this earth with a deliberate, stoic patience, finding utility in the rugged terrain that keeps the pace of daily affairs measured and spare. While the waters of Holm Reservoir wait eight miles away, the daily rhythm of the people remains tied to the land’s capacity to yield, favoring endurance over expansion. There is a profound, unvarnished beauty in the way the light lingers at dusk, turning the stubble of the fields into rows of burnished copper, revealing a landscape that asks for little and offers its own solitary, hard-won peace in return.

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.
