How to Use This Sedan, Montana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sedan, 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 Sedan.
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 Sedan, Montana
Sedan is a locality in Gallatin County, Montana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 101. The population density is 0.6 people per km². Sedan is located at 45.9633°N, 110.8793°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 59086.Sedan emerges from the high, open expanse of the Montana landscape as a quiet collection of structures defined by the persistent, silver-threaded path of Carrol Creek. It lies 20.1 miles northeast of Belgrade, MT (from Belgrade, MT: bearing 51°T), and is situated 21.3 miles north-northeast of Bozeman. The air here holds a thin, crystalline clarity, sharpening the jagged, distant silhouettes of the Bridger Range that anchor the western horizon. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the terrain slopes upward into the rugged, sage-dusted topography of Green Canyon, where the light at dusk turns the grasses a bruised, deep gold. Ainger Lake rests in the nearby basin, its surface often mirroring the vast, unblemished dome of the sky, while the surrounding Montana State Trust Lands offer a sprawling, silent expanse of sagebrush and prairie that feels indifferent to the passing of human time.
Sedan carries the quiet weight of a history rooted in the hard, deliberate labor of the agricultural frontier, where the economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the grazing of livestock. The influence of the Stock Drive Trail lingers in the collective memory of the region, echoing a time when the movement of cattle dictated the pulse of the local life. Residents here maintain a steady, private pace, conducting their affairs in the shadow of expansive, lonely distances that demand a certain stoic independence. Life in Sedan is measured not by the clamor of industry, but by the subtle shifts in the wind and the seasonal cycles that dictate the survival of those who choose to inhabit this high, wind-swept plateau.

About This Sedan Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sedan, Montana. Coordinates: 45.963337, -110.879303. 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 Sedan includes the ZIP code (59086), telephone area code (406), county seat of Gallatin County (Bozeman), and school district assignment (Shields Valley 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.
