How to Use This Turah, Montana Map

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

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 Turah, Montana

Turah is a locality in Missoula County, Montana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 364. The population density is 105.4 people per km². Turah is located at 46.8360°N, 113.8301°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP codes: 59802, 59825.

Turah anchors itself to the valley floor where the Clark Fork carves a deliberate path through the landscape, defining the rhythm of the earth itself. It lies 8.1 miles east-southeast of Missoula, MT (from Missoula, MT: bearing 108°T), and is situated 5.9 miles east-southeast of East Missoula. The air here holds a crisp, high-altitude clarity, carrying the scent of dry grasses and the mineral bite of the riverbed. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains provide a jagged, permanent horizon, while the immediate ground rises into the rugged inclines of Bear Gulch. Sunwood Park offers a quiet expanse of open land that breathes with the changing seasons, its grasses turning the color of bleached bone under the relentless intensity of the high-plains sun.

Turah persists as a quiet intersection of transit and tradition, where the pulse of the local economy remains tied to the movement of goods and the stewardship of the surrounding soil. The legacy of the region is written in the silence of the land, far removed from the bustle of denser hubs but connected by the steady flow of the Clark Fork. For those living here, the day is measured not by clocks but by the shifting shadows cast against the ridges and the way the light softens as it settles over the timbered reaches toward the Lubrecht State Experimental Forest. Life in Turah retains an unadorned quality, marked by the simple necessity of maintaining a homestead against the vast, indifferent scale of the Montana sky.

About This Turah Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Turah, Montana. Coordinates: 46.836037, -113.830102. 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 Turah includes the ZIP code (59802, 59825), telephone area code (406), county seat of Missoula County (Missoula), and school district assignment (Missoula 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.
