How to Use This Medicine Bow, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Medicine Bow remains a place defined by the relentless clarity of the high-plains light and the sprawling, sage-brushed expanse that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Rocky Mountains. It lies 51.3 miles northwest of Laramie, WY (from Laramie, WY: bearing 322°T), and is situated 53.7 miles east of Rawlins. The landscape around Medicine Bow is marked by a raw, unadorned austerity, where the ground is a patchwork of pale grasses and exposed earth, occasionally broken by the quiet, winding presence of the Medicine Bow River. A few miles away, the rugged topography of Stralyn Canyon carves its way through the terrain, while the nearby East Allen Lake offers a still, reflective surface that mirrors the vast, shifting clouds of the Wyoming sky. The air here carries a sharp, dry crispness, and at dusk, the horizon glows with a bruised violet hue that seems to settle heavily upon the land, imbuing the isolation with a quiet, meditative weight.

History in Medicine Bow is tethered to the expansive dreams of the frontier, echoing with the legacy of the railroad and the enduring, stubborn resilience of those who carved a life out of this spare, demanding country. The local economy has long shifted with the tides of industry, moving from the demands of early transit to the more rugged pursuits of energy and resource extraction that define much of the surrounding region. Travelers passing through might find themselves near the protected reaches of Shirley Basin West, a landscape that remains largely untamed and indifferent to the passage of time. Life in Medicine Bow proceeds with a deliberate, steady cadence, unbothered by the frantic pace of the wider world, favoring instead the honest rhythm of a day shaped by the wind, the season, and the enduring stillness of the high desert.
