Explore Guernsey, 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 Guernsey, 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 Guernsey.
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.

Guernsey occupies a rugged expanse of high plains where the air carries the dry, sharp scent of sage and sun-baked earth. It lies 78.2 miles north of Cheyenne, WY (from Cheyenne, WY: bearing 3°T), and is situated 18.4 miles northeast of Wheatland. The horizon is defined by the distant, jagged silhouette of the Haystack Range, a reminder of the geologic volatility that shaped the surrounding terrain. Near the center of the landscape, the North Platte River carves a path through the sandstone, its waters providing a cool, dark contrast to the pale, dusty hues of the surrounding basin. Residents often gather at the Town of Guernsey Park to observe how the late afternoon light deepens the shadows in Warm Springs Canyon, turning the rock faces into shades of burnt umber and ochre. A short distance away, the quiet surface of the Guernsey Fish Pond reflects the vast, unobstructed sky, serving as a tranquil anchor in a land otherwise defined by its expansive, windswept character.
History lingers in the deep ruts left by wagon wheels on the nearby trails, a physical record of those who once traversed this corridor on their way toward the western frontier. Guernsey remains tethered to this legacy of movement and industry, balancing its heritage with an economy rooted in regional agriculture and the steady rhythm of local commerce. Life in Guernsey moves at a measured pace, governed by the seasonal shifts of the high plains and the practical demands of a landscape that does not yield easily to human endeavor. The local character is forged by the resilience required to thrive in such an environment, where the wind can scour the plains for days and the stars seem closer to the ground than anywhere else. It is a place where the connection to the land is immediate and undeniable, felt in the grit of the soil and the persistent, quiet endurance of the people who call it home.

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.
