How to Use This Cowley, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Cowley emerges from the high, arid plains of the Bighorn Basin as a study in resilience and quiet geometry. It lies 37.9 miles northeast of Cody, WY (from Cody, WY: bearing 49°T), and is situated 5.0 miles northwest of Lovell. The horizon is dominated by the distant, jagged silhouette of the Bighorn Mountains, which hold the morning light in a pale, violet haze while the immediate landscape remains defined by the persistent, low-growing sage. Nearby, the banks of Sage Creek carve a faint, seasonal path through the dry earth, while the still waters of Jensons Pond provide a rare, reflective contrast to the dusty expanse. In the center of the settlement, Cowley City Park offers a reprieve of shade and irrigated green, a small oasis where the dry wind of the high desert softens to a whisper against the leaves.

Cowley maintains a character forged by the tenacity of early settlers who looked to this alkaline soil and saw a future in irrigation and agriculture. The local economy persists in the rhythm of the seasons, rooted in the labor of the land and the endurance of those who work it. Memories of the past linger in the proximity of the Jim Bridger Trail, a reminder of the arduous routes once taken by those crossing this rugged interior. Life here follows the slow, deliberate pace of a place defined by wide horizons and the deep, stillness of the basin, where the passage of time is measured not by sudden changes, but by the subtle shifting of shadows across Foster Gulch as the sun descends.
