How to Use This Huson, Montana Map

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

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.

About Huson, Montana

Huson is a locality in Missoula County, Montana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 256. The population density is 129.2 people per km². Huson is located at 47.0332°N, 114.3408°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59846.

Huson occupies a quiet expanse of land where the earth rises in subtle, dry folds toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Mission Mountains. It lies 19.2 miles northwest of Missoula, MT (from Missoula, MT: bearing 305°T), and is situated 17.5 miles northwest of Orchard Homes. The air here holds a crisp, thin clarity, often carrying the scent of pine from the nearby Lolo National Forest, which marks the boundary of the rugged wilderness surrounding the valley floor. To the north, the terrain dips into the shadowed recesses of French Gulch, while the steady, man-made channel of the French Irrigation District Ditch carves a thin, life-giving line through the soil. When the sun retreats behind the western ridges, the light turns a bruised, metallic gold, illuminating the dusty grasses and the persistent, quiet endurance of the high-plains landscape.

Huson serves as a steady anchor for those who work the timber and the soil, maintaining an economy deeply rooted in the practical rhythms of forestry and agriculture. Life in Huson is measured by the seasonal shift of the canopy and the maintenance of the land, with residents often seeking respite along the rugged paths of the Houle Creek Trail or the still, reflective waters of Kreis Pond. History here is not written in grand monuments but in the weathered fence lines and the enduring presence of the Lolo National Forest, which defines the borders of local expansion and preservation alike. The character of the place remains defined by a profound, solitary stillness, where the distance between neighbors is bridged by a shared respect for the harsh, beautiful demands of the Montana interior.

About This Huson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Huson, Montana. Coordinates: 47.033243, -114.340786. 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 Huson includes the ZIP code (59846), telephone area code (406), county seat of Missoula County (Missoula), and school district assignment (Frenchtown K-12 Schools).

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.
