Explore Kerr, 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 Kerr, 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 Kerr.
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.

Kerr occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises into broad, sun-bleached slopes that hold the heat long after the afternoon light fades. It lies 36.1 miles south of Kalispell, MT (from Kalispell, MT: bearing 171°T), and is situated 1.6 miles southwest of Polson. The horizon is dominated by the distant, jagged teeth of the Mission Mountains, their peaks often veiled in a haze of violet and gray that shifts with the moods of the sky. To the west, the landscape dips toward the Flathead River, which carves a persistent path through the terrain, while the vast expanse of Flathead Lake gathers the mountain runoff nearby. Travelers might find a moment of stillness at the Travis Dolphin Dog Park, where the grass is dry and the wind carries the scent of pine from the distant Swan River State Forest. In the autumn, the air takes on a crisp, metallic edge, sharpening the silhouette of the ridges and turning the golden prairie grasses into a sea of flickering amber.
Kerr emerged from the rugged necessity of the frontier, its identity forged by those who looked at the vast, unforgiving plains and saw a place to anchor a life. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, defined by the seasonal pulse of ranching and the slow, steady labor of those who work the soil. Tracks of history run deep through Weythman Gulch, where the echoes of early settlement still cling to the rocky outcrops and hidden ravines. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, far removed from the clamor of the urban centers, leaving room for the quiet dignity of a day spent in honest work. On rare, humid afternoons, the distant roar of Mud Creek Falls provides a faint, rhythmic pulse that reminds those in Kerr of the wild, unyielding power of the water that shaped the valley long before the first fence was ever driven into the ground.

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.
