Explore Alpine Northwest, Wyoming, 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 Alpine Northwest, Wyoming. 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 Wyoming 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 Alpine Northwest.
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.

Alpine Northwest occupies a rugged intersection where the Snake River carves a deep, cold path through the high-altitude landscape. It lies 24.9 miles south-southwest of Jackson, WY (from Jackson, WY: bearing 211°T), and is situated 14.2 miles north-northwest of Star Valley Ranch. The light here settles thin and sharp against the earth, emphasizing the stark transition between the sage-dusted basin floors and the timbered heights of the Targhee National Forest that press against the town’s eastern edges. A mile away, the jagged geometry of Jordan Canyon slices into the terrain, offering a quiet, shadowed contrast to the expansive, open sky that dominates the horizon. Palisades Reservoir holds the water in a vast, reflective stillness, its surface a slate-gray mirror that anchors the surrounding hills and dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the local climate.
Alpine Northwest maintains a character defined by the endurance of those who work the land and the seasonal shifts of a region far removed from industrial centers. The economy has long functioned on the rhythms of the forest and the river, with the modern pulse of the area tied to the maintenance of the Targhee National Forest and the careful management of the water resources that sustain the region. While the distant, snow-dusted silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains loom eighty miles away as a faint, icy promise against the clouds, the life of Alpine Northwest remains rooted in the immediate, tangible grit of its valleys. Daily existence is marked by the smell of pine resin and the persistent, low-frequency hum of the current, a cadence that has persisted through the decades as the primary, unspoken language of the residents.

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.
