How to Use This Moorcroft, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Moorcroft emerges from the vast Wyoming plains as a quiet intersection of high-plains earth and expansive, pale-blue sky. It lies 27.4 miles east of Gillette, WY (from Gillette, WY: bearing 94°T), and is situated 56.1 miles west-southwest of Spearfish. Rush Creek cuts a path through the terrain near the settlement, its modest flow providing a persistent, low-frequency rhythm to the landscape that remains indifferent to the changing seasons. The horizon is dominated by the dry, textured expanse of the prairie, where the light at dusk turns the grasses a bruised, metallic gold, casting long shadows that stretch toward the distant, faint silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains. Within the immediate perimeter, Noonan Park offers a small, localized refuge of greenery, a sharp contrast to the rugged, sun-bleached hills that define the surrounding topography.

Moorcroft bears the imprint of a history forged in the necessity of the frontier, where the economy has long been tethered to the pulse of energy extraction and the persistent demands of agricultural life. The town functions as a steady point of gravity for those who work the land or the depths beneath it, maintaining a pace that favors the deliberate over the frantic. Four miles distant, the Big Draw basin and the waters of Cox Reservoir serve as quiet geographic markers, reminding those who live here of the scarcity and value of water in this arid climate. Life in Moorcroft unfolds with a pragmatic dignity, marked by the steady hum of commerce and the enduring character of a place that remains stubbornly, authentically itself.

About This Moorcroft Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Moorcroft, Wyoming. Coordinates: 44.263315, -104.950254. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Moorcroft includes the ZIP code (82721), telephone area code (307), county seat of Crook County (Sundance), and school district assignment (Crook County School District 1).

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.
