How to Use This Bear River, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Bear River exists as a quiet confluence of high-plains geography where the horizon claims more authority than the earth itself. It lies 8.6 miles north-northwest of Evanston, WY (from Evanston, WY: bearing 338°T), and is situated 50.4 miles east-northeast of Ogden. The land here is defined by a vast, unyielding openness, where the low-slung grasses of the arid plateau meet the sky in a sharp, unbroken line. Only a mile away, the Bear River carves its path through the terrain, a slender ribbon of water that offers a cool, constant presence against the persistent heat of the afternoon. To the west, the landscape dips into the quiet depth of Shell Hollow, while the nearby reach of Dry Lake sits as a silent, shallow basin holding the memory of seasonal rains. The light at dusk possesses a singular clarity, bleaching the sagebrush to a pale, ghostly silver before the deep indigo of the high-desert night settles over the soil.

Bear River remains a place defined by the steady, measured pace of those who work the land and keep the livestock that graze these expansive stretches. The legacy of the frontier lingers in the quietude, echoing the persistence of travelers who once followed the Pony Express and Overland Stage Route nine miles away. Today, the economy leans upon the hard-won traditions of agriculture and the maintenance of the local landscape, supported by the quiet stewardship found within the boundaries of Bear River Park. Life moves in cycles tied to the shifting weather and the seasonal requirements of the range, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. While the distant summits of the Rocky Mountains may shimmer like a mirage on the furthest edge of the western sky, the character of Bear River is rooted firmly in the immediate, rugged reality of the plains.

About This Bear River Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bear River, Wyoming. Coordinates: 41.384112, -111.026297. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Bear River includes the ZIP code (82930), telephone area code (307), county seat of Uinta County (Evanston), and school district assignment (Uinta County School District 1).

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.
