How to Use This Racetrack, Montana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Racetrack, 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 Racetrack.
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.

Racetrack is located at 46.2788°N, 112.7486°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59722.Racetrack stretches across a high, quiet basin where the land leans toward the horizon in long, amber-colored swells of grass. It lies 21.6 miles north-northwest of Butte, MT (from Butte, MT: bearing 332°T), and is situated 8.1 miles south of Deer Lodge. Racetrack Creek carves a persistent, silver path through this terrain, its cold waters providing a steady pulse to the vegetation that clings to its banks. Only a mile away, the quiet reach of Sand Hollow deepens the landscape, while the distant, jagged silhouette of the Rocky Mountains marks the western boundary of the world. The air here holds a thin, crystalline clarity, especially at dusk, when the light turns a bruised purple and the shadows of the sagebrush lengthen until they seem to touch the very edge of the sky.
History in Racetrack remains tethered to the soil and the persistent labor of those who work the vast, open stretches of the surrounding acreage. The economy relies on the rhythms of cattle and hay, a life dictated by the seasonal shift from the harsh, biting frost of winter to the fleeting, intense green of the short growing season. Just a mile away, the Montana State Trust Lands offer a managed wilderness where the native flora sustains the local ecosystem, undisturbed by the hurried pace of modern industry. Seven miles distant, the quiet surface of Perkins Pond reflects the shifting clouds, serving as a still, reflective companion to the working ranches that define the character of the people who reside here.

About This Racetrack Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Racetrack, Montana. Coordinates: 46.278815, -112.74865. 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 Racetrack includes the ZIP code (59722), telephone area code (406), county seat of Powell County (Deer Lodge), and school district assignment (Deer Lodge 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.
