Explore North Rock Springs, 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 North Rock Springs, 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 North Rock Springs.
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.

North Rock Springs occupies a stark, arid expanse where the high desert floor stretches toward a horizon defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Rocky Mountains. It lies 5.1 miles northwest of Rock Springs, WY (from Rock Springs, WY: bearing 320°T), and is situated 13.1 miles northeast of Green River. The landscape is a study in muted earth tones, where sagebrush clings to the alkaline soil and the wind scours the terrain into subtle, wind-carved folds. Mesa Park serves as the immediate threshold to this rugged environment, offering a quiet, unadorned space where the pale, thin air carries the scent of dry earth and sun-baked rock. Two miles away, the narrow, intermittent flow of Killpecker Creek traces a thin line across the basin, a fragile ribbon of moisture in a land that is defined more by its thirst than its abundance. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, metallic violet, casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the vast, open emptiness of the basin.
History in North Rock Springs is written in the labor of those who once sought the dark veins of coal beneath the crust, building a life upon the extraction of energy and the grit of industrial persistence. The economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of resource development, a cycle that shapes the daily tempo of the streets and the pragmatic character of the people who reside here. While the deep, cool waters of Flaming Gorge Reservoir lie thirteen miles distant, the life of the locality is firmly rooted in the terrestrial reality of the plains rather than the water. Life follows a steady, deliberate pace, indifferent to the hurried expectations of outsiders, preferring the quiet stability found in the shadow of Long Canyon. It is a place of enduring resilience, where the permanence of the geology humbles the temporary ambitions of men, leaving North Rock Springs to persist as a singular point of human endeavor in the wide, uncompromising Wyoming expanse.

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.
