Explore Montague, Michigan, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Montague, MI street map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
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. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Montague, Michigan. 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 to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Montague and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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. 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 Montague.
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.

Montague rests where the White River spills its freshwaters into the grand, blue expanse of Lake Michigan, a place where the air itself seems to carry the scent of pine needles and damp earth. It lies 13.7 miles north-northwest of Muskegon, MI (from Muskegon, MI: bearing 337°T), and is situated 0.6 miles northwest of Whitehall. The land here is a gentle swell of sandy soil, supporting orchards that blush with apple and cherry in their seasons, and dense stands of evergreen that whisper secrets to the prevailing west winds. The shoreline is a shifting artwork of dunes, their pale faces sculpted by the relentless push and pull of the lake, giving way to stretches of beach that gleam like scattered pearls under the wide Michigan sky. Even in the height of summer, a certain quietude pervades, a sense of nature’s patient, enduring presence that makes the very ground feel solid and ancient beneath one’s feet. The history of Montague is deeply entwined with the bounty of its surroundings and the industrious spirit of those who sought to harness it. Once a bustling hub for timber and shipping, its harbor once teemed with schooners laden with lumber bound for distant cities. Today, while the logging industry has faded into memory, the spirit of enterprise endures, now focused on agriculture – the sweet, tart promise of its fruit farms drawing visitors and sustenance alike. The town retains a palpable connection to its maritime past, evident in the weathered docks and the enduring charm of its waterfront neighborhoods, where the echoes of a bygone era can still be heard in the cry of gulls and the distant hum of fishing boats. Montague remembers its roots, a living testament to the land’s enduring generosity and the resilience of its people.

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 — ensuring the correct Montague is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
