How to Use This Montana City, Montana Map

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

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 Montana City, Montana

Montana City is a locality in Jefferson County, Montana, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,918. The population density is 33.0 people per km². Montana City is located at 46.5240°N, 111.9335°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59634.

Montana City occupies a quiet expanse of high-altitude ground where the earth hums with the steady, rhythmic persistence of the American West. It lies 6.2 miles southeast of Helena, MT (from Helena, MT: bearing 128°T), and is situated 5.0 miles south of Helena Valley Southeast. Prickly Pear Creek carves a vein through the landscape, its waters cold and clear, reflecting the expansive sky that dominates the horizon. To the west, the Big Belt Mountains rise in a jagged, slate-colored silhouette, their peaks often catching the first pale lavender light of dawn long before the lower valleys stir. Just a mile away, the Elkhorn Mountains Area of Critical Environmental Concern provides a rugged sanctuary for local wildlife, while the nearby Clark Gulch dips into the terrain, offering a stark contrast to the open plains that stretch toward the distant, hazy blue of the horizon.

Montana City traces its character to the industrious spirit of the early mining era, an economy once defined by the extraction of subterranean wealth that has since transitioned into a quiet, residential life for those who value the solitude of the high plains. Residents often look toward the Northern Pacific Reservoir, a still expanse of water just two miles away, as a place of reflection when the wind dies down and the air grows thin and crisp. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, dictated more by the shift of seasons and the arrival of winter snows than by the clock. While the bustle of larger centers remains a distant thought, the local atmosphere remains anchored in the stubborn, honest beauty of the land, where the scent of dry grass and pine needles lingers in the cool evening air.

About This Montana City Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Montana City, Montana. Coordinates: 46.52399, -111.933472. 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 Montana City includes the ZIP code (59634), telephone area code (406), county seat of Jefferson County (Boulder), and school district assignment (Jefferson 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.
