How to Use This Alta, Wyoming Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alta, 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 Alta.

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.

About Alta, Wyoming

Alta is a locality in Teton County, Wyoming, United States. It is a small community with a population of 429. The population density is 19.9 people per km². Alta is located at 43.7736°N, 111.0313°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 83414.

Alta sits upon a high, rugged bench where the landscape transitions from open fields to the dense, dark timber of the nearby Targhee National Forest. It lies 23.4 miles northwest of Jackson, WY (from Jackson, WY: bearing 324°T), and is situated 4.3 miles east-northeast of Driggs. Teton Creek carves its path through the terrain, the water running cold and clear as it descends from the heights, its constant murmur providing a backdrop to the quietude of the land. In the distance, the jagged peaks of the Tetons dominate the eastern horizon, their presence felt even when obscured by the low-hanging clouds that drift across the valley. The air here holds a sharp, thin clarity that defines the seasonal shifts, from the long, heavy winters to the brief, vibrant growth of summer. At Alta Community Park, the open space offers a place to observe the changing light as it catches the sagebrush and turns the dry grasses to a pale, brittle gold before the sun slips behind the western ridges.

History in Alta is etched into the small, scattered homesteads and the enduring resilience of those who labor in this high-altitude climate. The local economy remains tied to the rhythms of the land, shaped by a legacy of ranching and the seasonal ebb and flow of visitors drawn to the proximity of the wilderness. Beyond the immediate reach of the community, Dry Canyon provides a stark, narrow contrast to the broader expanse of the plains, while the distant, icy mass of Petersen Glacier remains a silent, frozen sentinel to the north. Travelers often seek out the South Leigh Creek Trail to experience the deeper reaches of the surrounding terrain, finding a landscape that has not been softened by time or development. Life in Alta moves with a deliberate, steady pace, anchored by the reality of the mountains and the vast, unyielding sky that stretches over the entire region.
