Explore Kirby, 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 Kirby, 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 Kirby.
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.

Kirby occupies a sparse, sun-bleached expanse where the Bighorn River carves a deliberate path through the arid Wyoming basin. It lies 54.8 miles north of Riverton, WY (from Riverton, WY: bearing 10°T), and is situated 18.5 miles southwest of Worland. The landscape is defined by the stark, earthen textures of Coal Draw and the jagged, distant silhouettes of the Bighorn Mountains that anchor the horizon in shades of bruised violet. To the west, the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Study Area rises as a rugged testament to the unyielding terrain, a place where the wind carries the scent of sagebrush and the dry, ancient dust of the plains. Light here does not merely illuminate; it clarifies, stripping away artifice until the pale, calcified soil and the deep, enduring sky seem to press against the very edges of the world.
Kirby remains a quiet witness to the enduring legacy of the high desert, where the rhythm of existence is dictated by the slow, seasonal shifts of the earth. The local economy persists in a delicate balance with the land, drawing from a history of resourcefulness that values utility above all else. Though Cover Slough lies nine miles distant as a quiet reservoir of stillness, the daily pulse of Kirby is tethered to the persistent flow of the nearby river and the quietude of the surrounding scrubland. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a long-settled frontier, defined by the persistence of those who choose to inhabit a place where the horizon remains wide, empty, and profoundly honest.

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.
