Description: Large map of Montana State, USA showing cities, towns, county formations, roads highway, US highways and State routes.
Map of Montana - Montana map with cities, counties, and roads network. Use this detailed map for county boundaries, county seats, border lines with Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, plus rivers and lakes do most of the orientation, while highways show lightly for context. Follow the Missouri River, Yellowstone River, Milk River, Clark Fork, Flathead River, Bitterroot River, and big waters like Flathead Lake, Fort Peck Lake, Lake Koocanusa, and Yellowstone National Park edges to stay found without relying on heavy road symbols.
Start with borders and water. The Canadian line and the sweeping Missouri and Yellowstone rivers form reliable anchors.
Use county seats. Every shaded county lists a seat, often centered and set in a stronger label for quick locking.
Treat roads as hints. Interstates and U.S. routes appear lightly. Use them only to confirm direction between towns already visible on the county-first design.
On the map's far northwest corner, Libby sits along the Kootenai River with Eureka near the Canadian line and Troy west toward Idaho. Lake Koocanusa is a primary blue anchor cutting north to Canada. This block helps you pin the state's corner without heavy road detail.
South of Lincoln, Thompson Falls and Plains align with the Clark Fork valley. The county reads as a long strip between the Bitterroot Mountains and the Cabinet Range, making it ideal for road-light navigation by river.
Superior is prominent along the Clark Fork; St. Regis and Alberton appear as smaller labels near the Idaho line. Forest textures and river bends guide position.
Missoula is a bold interior label where the Clark Fork meets the Bitterroot and Blackfoot. Suburbs like Lolo and Bonner are visible. The county reaches north toward Seeley Lake country and south to the Ravalli line.
The Bitterroot Valley shows a string of towns: Hamilton, Stevensville, Victor, Corvallis, and Darby. The mountains frame the west edge, making the county easy to spot without dense highways.
At the south end of Flathead Lake, Polson fronts the water while Ronan and St. Ignatius sit along the valley floor. The outline of Flathead Lake dominates the map here, perfect for water-led orientation.
Kalispell anchors a busy label area with Whitefish and Columbia Falls tied to Glacier National Park and the Flathead River forks. The park edge and lake basins give strong shape cues for this county.
East of the Continental Divide, Cut Bank and Browning appear, with the Blackfeet Nation lands and the east boundary of Glacier National Park giving clear context. Look for the Marias River breaks to the south.
Shelby sits near the Canadian ports of entry; Sunburst is north along the line. The county is a rectangle that makes border tracking simple.
Chester marks the center; wheat country and the Milk River valley to the south give the visual pattern.
Havre is the strong High Line label; Box Elder and Rudyard appear along the U.S. 2 corridor. The Bear Paw Mountains' silhouette is a faint but useful backdrop.
Chinook and Harlem align with the Milk River and Fort Belknap area. The straight northern border keeps your bearings.
Malta stands mid-county; Dodson and Saco dot the river plain. Southward, the Missouri Breaks textures lead toward the national monument area.
Glasgow anchors the Fort Peck reach; Nashua and Fort Peck itself sit near Fort Peck Lake, a massive blue expanse that dominates central-eastern Montana.
A compact block on the Canadian line with Scobey centered and prairie texture throughout. Easy to identify by the right-angled edges.
Plentywood anchors the far northeast; the Medicine Lake area shows as small blue patches near the Roosevelt border.
Wolf Point is a strong label in Missouri; Poplar lies east. The county straddles river lowlands and rolling uplands.
At the North Dakota line, Sidney and Fairview appear along the Yellowstone River. The river curves along the border, allowing you to secure the spot quickly.
Conrad and Valier lie south of the border counties, with irrigated plains running to the Marias River.
Choteau sits under the Rocky Mountain Front. Fairfield and Dutton appear along the plains' edge. The Front's stark line is a perfect road-light landmark.
Great Falls is a large label on the Missouri River with Belt and Cascade nearby. The chain of river falls and dams shapes the county's center.
Fort Benton sits on a deep Missouri River bend, with Big Sandy to the north. The river's meanders are the primary navigation cue here.
Stanford, Hobson, and Geyser line the basin between the Little Belt and Judith ranges. Subtle mountain shading makes this county stand out.
Lewistown is a bold mid-state label. Moore, Denton, and Winifred dot the wheat country, while the Judith Mountains ring the seat.
Montana's small, open county, with Winnett centered and the Musselshell headwaters and Missouri breaks forming the edges.
Jordan anchors a vast, sparsely labeled area between the Fort Peck waters and the Musselshell plains. River breaks texture dominates.
Helena stands out as the state capital. Montana City, East Helena, and Lincoln help frame the valley. The Missouri and Canyon Ferry Reservoirs on the county's east are excellent orientation anchors.
Boulder lies between Butte and Helena; Whitehall sits in the Jefferson River valley. Ridges and basins alternate in the map's color.
Townsend is at the head of Canyon Ferry Reservoir. The county reads as a tight valley between the Big Belt and Elkhorn ranges.
Bozeman is a large label with Belgrade and Manhattan nearby. The south edge connects toward West Yellowstone, clearly shown near the park entrance. The confluence of the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson rivers near Three Forks is a classic map cue.
Livingston sits on the Yellowstone River with Gardiner at the northern gateway to Yellowstone National Park. Mountain shading and the river bend make orientation simple.
Virginia City is the historic seat; modern population centers Ennis and Twin Bridges appear in the Madison and Beaverhead valleys.
Dillon is located near the Beaverhead River; Lima and Wisdom appear along the Idaho line and in the Big Hole basin. The county forms Montana's broad southwest corner.
Butte is a consolidated city-county. The map shows a dense label for Butte with a mining heritage context. The Continental Divide ridges are visible around it.
Anaconda and the Pintler range fill this county. The long valley to Georgetown Lake is a strong blue-and-green locator.
Despite the city name, Deer Lodge lies in Powell County, not Deer Lodge County. The Clark Fork and Blackfoot River basins frame this block.
Philipsburg anchors the Pintler foothills; Drummond sits near the Clark Fork corridor. Lakes and high ridges mark the county boundary.
White Sulphur Springs sits between the Little Belt and Castle ranges. The Smith River drainage provides a distinct valley line on the map.
Harlowton and Judith Gap are the leading labels. Wind farm icons often appear in other maps; here, the ridge names do the orientation work.
A small rectangle with Ryegate centered and the Musselshell River running east.
Roundup stands on a big bend of the Musselshell; the county bridges the transition toward the Yellowstone area.
Billings is the largest city label on the map. Laurel and Lockwood frame the metro. The Yellowstone River arcs east through the county, a perfect road-light guide.
Columbus is central; Absarokee, Nye, and Park City align along the Stillwater and Yellowstone tributaries.
Red Lodge lies under the Beartooth Front; Joliet and Fromberg line the Clarks Fork valley. The county touches Wyoming at the high peaks.
Big Timber sits on the Yellowstone and the Boulder River fork. The square county shape and river bend are easy to read.
Hardin is central with Crow Agency close by and Lodge Grass toward Wyoming. The Bighorn River and canyon labels are strong cues, and a small dot for Fort Smith may appear near the reservoir.
Hysham anchors a narrow county between Yellowstone and Rosebud. The Yellowstone River hugs the north edge.
Forsyth is on the Yellowstone with Colstrip inland. The county stretches deep into the rolling plains toward Custer and Powder River.
Miles City is a large label on the Yellowstone; Kinsey and Moon Creek locales sit near ranch country. The Tongue and Powder rivers meet this reach.
Broadus appears along the Powder River with a long south boundary touching Wyoming. The open, pale coloring reflects sparse settlement.
Ekalaka lies in Montana's far southeast with badlands textures on the map—the county borders South Dakota.
Baker sits near Baker Lake with Plevna west. The county is a compact block abutting North Dakota.
Wibaux rests on a small creek valley at the state line. The uniform color makes the county easy to identify.
Glendive is a strong label on the Yellowstone; Richey lies to the northwest toward the Missouri uplands.
Terry sits on bluffs above the Yellowstone. The county includes badland breaks that the map renders in subtle tones.
The circle is centered amid rolling prairie between the Yellowstone and Missouri. The big empty space around the label is your cue.
Already covered above from the High Line view, but from this side note the long Yellowstone valley with Fairview on the border.
Wolf Point is the hub at a key Missouri River crossing; Poplar to the east extends toward the North Dakota line.
Glasgow again frames the Fort Peck Lake shoreline. The reservoir's bays and arms give the county a unique shape.
Malta to Saco along the Milk River makes a consistent High Line rhythm, with the Missouri breaks to the south.
Chinook and the Fort Belknap area keep the Milk River trend before the line turns west toward Havre.
Havre dominates the central High Line, with Rocky Boy reservation lands south in the Bear Paw foothills.
A repeat cross-check: Chester centered, wheat prairies surrounding.
Shelby near the border portals provides another anchor before you swing west to Glacier country.
From Part 1, Jordan sits between Fort Peck and the Musselshell country. The map's breaks and coulees are your best guides here.
Small, central seat Winnett leads toward the Missouri to the north and Musselshell headwaters to the south.
Lewistown lies at the heart of the Judith Mountains circle, making it one of the easiest interior anchors.
Stanford and Hobson continue the belt between the Little Belt and Big Snowy ranges.
Fort Benton again on the big Missouri bend; the line eastward follows ranch breaks to the Blaine and Hill borders.
Cross-checking, Hardin and Crow Agency sit between the Yellowstone and the Bighorn basins, with the reservation boundary visible.
Billings remains the urban hub that many searchers need to locate fast on a county-first map. Use the river arc and the Rims escarpment shading.
This string carries you along the Yellowstone upstream into mountain country and the Gallatin Valley. Columbus, Red Lodge, Big Timber, Livingston, Bozeman, Belgrade, and the Gardiner gateway give a step-by-step visual guide across the southern tier.
Reading west to east and back along the Divide, these counties finalize the loop back to the Canadian line and down the Missouri corridor. Each label above appears exactly as the map shows, giving you a dependable county-by-county checklist.
