Explore Little America, 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 Little America, 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 Little America.
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.

Little America emerges from the high, arid plains as a solitary outpost defined by the immense, pale reach of the Wyoming sky. It lies 20.3 miles west of Green River, WY (from Green River, WY: bearing 273°T), and is situated 34.1 miles west of Rock Springs. The landscape here is characterized by vast, windswept stretches of sagebrush and scrub, where the earth maintains a muted palette of dusty ochre and silver-gray. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains trace a jagged line against the horizon, providing a permanent, shadowed boundary to the expansive basin. Nearby, the modest flow of Spider Creek cuts a quiet path through the terrain, while the land dips toward the distant, arid depressions of Sevenmile Gulch. The air carries a sharp, clean clarity that intensifies the light at dusk, turning the horizon into a thin, glowing ribbon of violet and amber before the stars assert their cold, brilliant dominance.
Little America functions as a vital waypoint for travelers navigating the long, transcontinental stretches of the high plains, serving as a pillar of the regional transit economy. The site maintains a legacy rooted in the necessity of the road, evolving from a simple service stop into a recognizable institution that offers a brief, illuminated refuge for those crossing the desolate expanse. Visitors often find a peculiar stillness in the local rhythm, a balance between the relentless movement of highway commerce and the ancient, unchanging character of the surrounding desert. While the nearby Roy Adams Park provides a rare pocket of managed greenery, the true essence of the location remains tethered to the horizon and the persistent wind. Life here proceeds with a functional, pragmatic grace, mirrored by the quiet waters of Solid Waste Disposal Cell H Reservoir, which sits in the distance as a silent witness to the rugged, industrial reality of the high desert.

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.
