How to Use This Peerless, Montana Map

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

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.

Peerless defines the horizon where the high plains meet an expansive, unyielding sky that shifts from bruised violet to pale gold as the sun retreats. It lies 110.5 miles west-northwest of Williston, ND (from Williston, ND: bearing 294°T), and is situated 54.8 miles northeast of Glasgow. The landscape here is characterized by the quiet, sun-bleached expanse of the Montana State Trust Lands, which surround the perimeter with a wild, open austerity. Only a mile away, the thin, winding ribbon of Police Creek cuts through the earth, a modest artery that feeds the thirsty soil of the surrounding plains. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Opheim Hills anchors the view, while the subtle depression of Horseshoe Basin draws the eye toward the deeper, more shadowed folds of the terrain. The air, thin and sharp with the scent of dry grass, carries a stillness that seems to press against the ears, broken only by the occasional rustle of wind through the sagebrush or the distant, lonely call of a meadowlark.

Peerless exists as a quiet testament to the enduring labor of those who settled this arid stretch, where the economy remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of wheat harvests and the grazing of livestock. The history of the region is written in the rusted wire of fences and the weathered timber of homesteads that have slowly surrendered to the elements. Life here moves at the pace of the seasons, dictated by the heavy snowfall of winter and the sudden, fleeting green of spring. Seven miles away, the water of Killenbeck Reservoir provides a rare, reflective contrast to the dusty palette of the prairie, serving as a reminder of the vital importance of water in such a parched land. In Peerless, the social fabric is thin but resilient, held together by the shared understanding that survival in this expanse requires a particular kind of patience and a deep, quiet respect for the land that provides so little and demands so much.

About This Peerless Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Peerless, Montana. Coordinates: 48.782525, -105.831121. 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 Peerless includes the ZIP code (59253), telephone area code (406), county seat of Daniels County (Scobey), and school district assignment (Scobey K-12 Schools).

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.
