Explore Cody, 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 Cody, 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 Cody.
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.

Cody commands a high-desert plateau where the light at dusk turns the sagebrush into a sea of muted violet and gray. It lies 104.9 miles west of Sheridan, WY (from Sheridan, WY: bearing 260°T), and is situated 21.5 miles southwest of Powell. The landscape is defined by the expansive, open sky that seems to press down with a weight of quiet intensity, grounding the horizon in the rugged silhouettes of the Absaroka Range that loom twenty-two miles away. Nearby, the dramatic, sheer-walled incision of Shoshone Canyon serves as a primary gateway, while the immediate surroundings are marked by the modest flow of Dry Creek and the stillness of the Cody Municipal Reservoir. The terrain is a vast, arid expanse of wind-swept earth, where the air possesses a sharp, clean clarity that clarifies the distance between the town and the wild, untamed expanse of the Shoshone National Forest that begins exactly at the town’s edge.
Colonel William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody founded the place toward the end of the nineteenth century, envisioning a hub that could harmonize the spirit of the frontier with the practical needs of settlement. He brought a sense of theatrical grandeur to the high plains, attracting speculators, ranchers, and dreamers who saw in the rugged geography a chance to carve a life from the dust. The history of Cody remains tethered to the persona of its namesake, whose charisma and international fame provided the initial momentum for the settlement to grow beyond a mere outpost. Over the decades, the echoes of that early, ambitious spirit have settled into the architecture and the deliberate, slow-turning pace of the streets, where the memory of the original homesteaders remains a tangible presence in the way the land is still worked and respected.
Economy and infrastructure in Cody are built upon a foundation of tourism, energy, and the enduring rhythms of agriculture that persist on the surrounding plains. While the town does not house large universities, it functions as a vital service center for the region, supporting local industries that range from ranching and livestock production to the specialized trades required to maintain life in such an isolated, high-elevation environment. The infrastructure is characterized by wide, pragmatic thoroughfares designed to accommodate the heavy traffic of travelers moving toward the wilderness, alongside essential utility networks that manage the local water supply from the nearby reservoir. This focus on self-reliance creates a local environment where the professional class—ranging from outfitters and guides to engineers and educators—operates with a quiet, efficient professionalism.
Cultural life in Cody is defined by a deep-seated reverence for the western heritage that manifests in the nightly summer rodeos and the annual festivals that draw visitors from across the globe. The Buffalo Bill Center of the West stands as a preeminent landmark, housing extensive collections that preserve the reality of the frontier experience, while the town itself maintains an atmosphere of rugged authenticity that avoids the artifice of more commercialized destinations. There is a distinct lack of professional sports franchises, replaced instead by the spirited engagement of local high school athletics, which serve as the primary focus for community pride and seasonal gatherings. Whether it is the quiet walk along the banks of Dry Creek or the seasonal influx of visitors seeking the vastness of the Shoshone National Forest, the pulse of the town remains steady, reflective of a place that understands its own scale against the backdrop of the great, silent plains.

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.
