Explore York, Montana, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for York, 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 York.
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.

York emerges from the rugged terrain where Trout Creek carves a path through the landscape, defining the character of the immediate surroundings. It lies 16.2 miles east-northeast of Helena, MT (from Helena, MT: bearing 56°T), and is situated 9.7 miles east of Helena Valley Northeast. Dry Gulch provides a stark, narrow corridor that gives way to the broader expanses of the Helena National Forest, which envelopes the region in a dense, quiet mantle of timber and stone. On the distant horizon, the Big Belt Mountains cast long, jagged shadows across the earth as the afternoon light shifts from gold to a bruised, deepening violet. The air here carries a sharp clarity, cooled by the proximity of Hauser Lake, which sits only two miles away and catches the vast sky in its still, mirrored surface.
York maintains a quiet pulse, rooted in a history that favors endurance over expansion. The economy remains tethered to the land and the seasonal rhythms of the forest, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs. Residents and visitors alike often find themselves gravitating toward the Vigilante National Recreation Trail, a seven-mile path that offers a physical connection to the heritage of the territory. Life in York proceeds with a deliberate, steady cadence, where the silence of the woods and the persistent flow of the water dictate the day more than any clock. It is a place where the scale of the environment demands a certain humility, leaving the visitor to reconcile their own smallness against the immense, unchanging backdrop of the Montana wilderness.

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.
