How to Use This Kingsbury Colony, Montana Map

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

About Kingsbury Colony, Montana

Kingsbury Colony is a locality in Pondera County, Montana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 96. The population density is 96.3 people per km². Kingsbury Colony is located at 48.3028°N, 112.4875°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59486.

Kingsbury Colony rests upon the vast, open expanse of the high plains where the earth stretches toward a horizon seemingly infinite in its reach. It lies 78.1 miles northwest of Great Falls, MT (from Great Falls, MT: bearing 316°T), and is situated 32.1 miles west-southwest of Shelby. Miller Coulee defines the immediate topography, carving a shallow, rhythmic depression into the soil that catches the early morning mist before the sun burns it away into the dry, thin air. Only a few miles to the east, Birch Creek follows its quiet, meandering path through the grasslands, providing a vital ribbon of moisture that sustains the local flora. While the distant, jagged silhouette of the Rocky Mountains haunts the western sky, the land here remains defined by the immense, pale clarity of the heavens and the steady, unyielding wind that shapes the character of the prairie.

Agriculture forms the fundamental pulse of Kingsbury Colony, where the economy is tethered to the seasonal cycles of grain and livestock that have sustained inhabitants for generations. Beyond the immediate fences of the settlement, the Montana State Trust Lands offer a sprawling, protected buffer where the native grasses shift in waves of gold and rust, untouched by the plow. Life here operates with a deliberate, quiet patience, far removed from the frantic pace of larger urban centers, shaped instead by the practical labor of maintaining fences and managing the unpredictable temperament of the high-plains climate. Residents often look toward the shimmering, distant basin of Alkali Lake as a marker of the regional geography, a reminder of the quiet, isolated beauty that anchors Kingsbury Colony within this austere and expansive landscape.

About This Kingsbury Colony Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kingsbury Colony, Montana. Coordinates: 48.302753, -112.487548. 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 Kingsbury Colony includes the ZIP code (59486), telephone area code (406), county seat of Pondera County (Conrad), and school district assignment (Valier 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.
