Explore Boulder Flats, 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 Boulder Flats, 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 Boulder Flats.
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.

Boulder Flats defines itself through the persistent, silver ribbon of the Ray Canal, which draws a sharp line through the high, arid expanse of the Wyoming plains. It lies 22.6 miles west-southwest of Riverton, WY (from Riverton, WY: bearing 250°T), and is situated 6.5 miles north-northwest of Lander. The earth here wears a coat of pale sage and dry grass, stretching toward the horizon where the jagged, snow-dusted peaks of the Wind River Range command the western sky. To the east, the terrain dips into the quiet shadows of Kimbal Draw, while the waters of Ray Reservoir sit held in the earth like a heavy, cool mirror three miles away. The air carries a thin, crystalline quality that makes the distance feel both vast and intimate, especially at dusk when the light turns the color of a bruised plum and the wind begins to move through the brush with a low, rhythmic sigh.
Human life in Boulder Flats persists in a quiet, deliberate rhythm, shaped by the practical demands of the land and the endurance of those who work it. The nearby Lander Slope Area of Critical Environmental Concern preserves the raw, unhurried character of the high desert, serving as a reminder of the landscape’s long, slow history before the arrival of modern irrigation and fence lines. Economic activity remains tied to the cycles of the seasons, as the local reliance on the canal reflects a heritage of turning dry ground into productive pasture. While the Blue Trail lies miles away, those who walk the outskirts of Boulder Flats find a solitude that feels entirely earned, a place where the stillness of the high country is not an absence of sound, but a presence that demands a steady, watchful sort of attention.

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.
