How to Use This Encampment, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Encampment emerges from the high, arid landscape where the persistent waters of Badger Creek cut a path through the sagebrush plains. It lies 62.7 miles west of Laramie, WY (from Laramie, WY: bearing 264°T), and is situated 50.1 miles north of Steamboat Springs. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, bruised clarity, casting long, violet shadows across the terrain as it stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Rocky Mountains. Only two miles away, the Encampment River Canyon Wilderness Study Area offers a rugged expanse of timber and rock, while the nearby slopes of Deep Draw define the local topography with their sharp, austere lines. Three miles to the north, the still surface of Lordier Reservoir acts as a polished mirror for the vast, unblinking Wyoming sky, grounding the otherwise restless horizon in a quiet, reflective stillness.

Encampment bears the remnants of a copper-boom era that once drew prospectors to these hills, leaving behind a legacy of industry that has long since softened into the rhythms of ranching and rural endurance. The local economy persists through the seasonal cycles of cattle and the stewardship of the land, maintaining a character forged by isolation and the necessity of self-reliance. This is a place where the architecture of the past—weathered wood and sturdy, unadorned facades—remains anchored to the soil, suggesting a history that is less about grand narratives and more about the slow, steady labor of survival. In the quiet hours of the morning, the air carries a crisp, metallic sharpness, reminding those who live there that the environment dictates the pace of life, demanding a patient respect for the changing seasons that sweep across the plains.
