How to Use This Mountain View Colony, Montana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mountain View 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 Mountain View 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 Mountain View Colony, Montana
Mountain View Colony is a locality in Yellowstone County, Montana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 125. The population density is 169.9 people per km². Mountain View Colony is located at 46.0700°N, 108.7212°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59015.Mountain View Colony emerges from the high, open expanse of the plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut under a vast, unblinking sky. It lies 22.5 miles north-northwest of Billings, MT (from Billings, MT: bearing 332°T), and is situated 27.8 miles north of Laurel. The land here holds the quiet weight of the earth, defined by the broad, sweeping contours of Comanche Flat and the persistent, low-slung scrub that grips the soil against the seasonal winds. A mere mile away, the Montana State Trust Lands offer a quiet refuge of wild grasses and weathered fence lines, providing a buffer of stillness between the private acreage and the broader, untamed prairie. To the west, the distant, serrated edge of the Rocky Mountains haunts the skyline like a fading memory of granite, while the moisture of the region gathers in the quiet, reflective basin of Twin Lakes, tucked eight miles out from the center of the settlement.
Agriculture defines the pulse of Mountain View Colony, a rhythm set by the turning of the seasons and the hard-won harvest of the fields. The economic lifeblood of the area flows with the seasonal shifts of South Fork Crooked Creek, which carves a modest, vital path through the terrain three miles from the main cluster of dwellings. Generations have worked this soil, building a life that prizes self-reliance and the slow, deliberate work of maintaining fences and tending to the needs of the land. In the early morning, the light catches the dust motes and the silvered wood of old barns, illuminating a way of life that values the solitude of the high country and the clarity of a life lived close to the ground.

About This Mountain View Colony Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mountain View Colony, Montana. Coordinates: 46.07004, -108.721242. 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 Mountain View Colony includes the ZIP code (59015), telephone area code (406), county seat of Yellowstone County (Billings), and school district assignment (Broadview 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.
