How to Use This Kila, Montana Map

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

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 Kila, Montana

Kila is a locality in Flathead County, Montana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 424. The population density is 41.2 people per km². Kila is located at 48.1215°N, 114.4767°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59920.

Kila occupies a quiet expanse of land where the horizon is defined by the subtle, persistent reach of grass and timber rather than the sudden verticality of the distant Rocky Mountains. It lies 8.4 miles southwest of Kalispell, MT (from Kalispell, MT: bearing 232°T), and is situated 11.1 miles southwest of Evergreen. The terrain surrounding Kila is marked by the modest dip of Hoffman Draw, a depression in the earth that catches the morning frost and holds the cool, damp air long after the sun has climbed. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape is punctuated by the presence of the Flathead County Waterfowl Production Area, where the land serves as a communal sanctuary for migratory life, undisturbed and vast. When the wind moves across the plains, it carries a sharpness that speaks of high elevations and the long, thin intervals of space between the scattered dwellings.

Economic life in Kila remains tethered to the slow, deliberate rhythms of the land, drawing sustenance from the soil and the quiet passage of Ashley Creek as it snakes through the lower pastures. The proximity of Ashley Lake, eight miles to the west, provides a focus for the local climate, moderating the heat of midsummer and reflecting the pale, expansive sky of the northern plains. History here is written not in monuments, but in the enduring patterns of fence lines and the weathered wood of structures that have withstood decades of heavy snow. Life in Kila is defined by this understated persistence, a way of existing that values the utility of a well-tended field and the solitary, dignified silence that settles over the region when the daylight begins to fail.

About This Kila Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kila, Montana. Coordinates: 48.121529, -114.476703. 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 Kila includes the ZIP code (59920), telephone area code (406), county seat of Flathead County (Kalispell), and school district assignment (Flathead High 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.
