Explore Fontenelle, 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 Fontenelle, 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 Fontenelle.
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.

Fontenelle occupies a vast, high-desert plateau where the horizon stretches thin and pale under an uncompromising expanse of Wyoming sky. It lies 43.9 miles northwest of Green River, WY (from Green River, WY: bearing 316°T), and is situated 28.0 miles east-northeast of Kemmerer. The Green River carves a deliberate, winding path through the sagebrush flats, its cool currents providing a stark contrast to the dust-moted air and the brittle, sun-bleached grasses of the basin. Three miles distant, the expansive surface of Fontenelle Reservoir mirrors the shifting clouds, holding the light in a flat, metallic sheen that anchors the landscape. Far to the west, the jagged, distant silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains provide a subtle reminder of the rugged scale of the continent, standing as silent observers over the quiet, arid expanse.
History lingers in the soil here, marked by the faint, weathered depressions of the Emigrant Trail, which once carried hopeful travelers across these unforgiving plains. Today, the economy remains tethered to the land’s quiet demands, drawing sustenance from the energy sector and the stewardship of the surrounding wild. Nearby, the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge serves as a sanctuary for migratory birds and local fauna, protecting the riparian corridors that sustain life in this dry climate. Life in Fontenelle moves in accordance with the slow turning of seasons, where the evening wind carries the scent of dry earth and the distant, rhythmic hum of industry, defining a place that values endurance over ornament.

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.
