The CDP is in southwestern Jefferson County and is sparsely settled. An unincorporated place named Nineteen Mile is along Montana Highway 2 in the western part of the CDP, and Cactus Junction, at the intersection of MT 2 and MT 41, is at the eastern border of the CDP. MT 2 (former U.S. Route 10) leads east 11 miles (18 km) to Whitehall and northwest 20 miles (32 km) to Butte, while MT 41 leads south 23 miles (37 km) to Twin Bridges.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Rader Creek CDP has an area of 20.3 square miles (52.5 km2), all land. Rader Creek, the community's namesake, flows out of mountains to the northwest near the Continental Divide, joining Little Pipestone Creek in the east part of the CDP. The creeks are part of the Jefferson River watershed, eventually flowing to the Missouri River.
