Using a compass in the Rocky Mountains Montana what would the declination be west of true or east, unaffected?

Magnetic declination is the angle between the direction to the earth's rotational axis and the magnetic north pole. In North America, both of these points are in the same direction (or a zero declination) in an approximate north-south line running just west of the Great Lakes roughly following the Mississippi River. Because the earth's north rotational axis is north of the magnetic north pole (by ';true'; direction), all points lying west of that line have an ';east'; or ';positive'; declination, and points to the east have a ';west'; or ';negative'; declination.





Montana would have an east declination, ie, the magnetic compass would point east of true north, so the correction is to the west. The declination in Montana ranges from 10掳 to 17掳 east, depending on what part of the Big Sky state you are in.





The declination in all of Montana is to the east of true north.Using a compass in the Rocky Mountains Montana what would the declination be west of true or east, unaffected?

West
you guys are cheaters. If you don't know the answers you don't deserve to go. and just you never mind how I found your question...........
east of true
