How to Use This Point of Rocks, Wyoming Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Point of Rocks, 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 Point of Rocks.

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.

Point of Rocks serves as a stark, weathered anchor in the high desert, defined by the persistent, thin ribbon of Dagley Creek that carves its way through the arid, sun-bleached terrain. It lies 63.9 miles southeast of Casper, WY (from Casper, WY: bearing 124°T), and is situated 29.3 miles south of Douglas. The landscape here is one of vast, unforgiving horizons where the earth colors itself in shades of pale ocher and bruised gray, stretching toward a sky so expansive it threatens to swallow the ground whole. Only two miles distant, the terrain shifts into the rugged, sheltered contours of Harris Park, a natural transition that hints at the proximity of Medicine Bow National Forest. The air at dusk carries a sharp, metallic clarity, cooling rapidly as the light retreats, leaving the silhouettes of the land to sharpen against an indigo twilight.

Point of Rocks remains a sentinel of an older, harder era, its history etched into the remnants of transit routes that once funneled travelers across this unforgiving basin. The local economy has long been tethered to the pulse of the earth, drawing life from the resources beneath the soil and the quiet persistence of those who work the range. While the Rocky Mountains loom as a distant, jagged memory on the far horizon, the immediate vicinity finds its character in the singular rush of Cottonwood Falls and the distant, still waters of Indian Reservoir Number 1. Life here moves with the deliberate, heavy pace of a place that has seen the passage of wagons and the relentless evolution of the rails, holding fast to a quiet, solitary endurance.
