How to Use This Basin, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Basin holds its ground upon a high, arid expanse where the Bighorn River carves a deliberate path through the dusty earth. It lies 51.2 miles east of Cody, WY (from Cody, WY: bearing 101°T), and is situated 7.6 miles south of Greybull. The horizon is dominated by the jagged, distant profile of the Bighorn Mountains, which cast long, violet shadows across the prairie as the sun begins its slow descent. To the west, the land yields to the subtle, sun-bleached depressions of East Basin Draw, while the air remains thin and sharp, carrying the faint, clean scent of sagebrush and dry soil. At the center of the grid, Basin City Park and Court House provides a quiet anchor, its trees offering a rare, emerald interruption to the muted grays and ochres of the surrounding plains.

Agriculture and the steady, quiet pulse of local industry have defined the character of Basin since its earliest days, when settlers first recognized the potential of the river valley. The economy here remains tethered to the land, moving in a rhythm dictated by the seasons and the demands of the soil, far removed from the frantic pace of larger centers. While the rugged wilderness of the Medicine Wheel Ranger District beckons from the higher elevations, the daily life of Basin remains grounded in the practicalities of a small, resilient community. People here move with a deliberate purpose, sharing a landscape that demands a certain stoicism, yet rewards the observant traveler with the profound beauty of a vast, unclouded sky.
