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 emerges from the high desert floor as a study in stark, sun-bleached endurance, defined by the persistent, alkaline passage of Bitter Creek. It lies 22.5 miles east-northeast of Rock Springs, WY (from Rock Springs, WY: bearing 73°T), and is situated 24.9 miles east of North Rock Springs. The landscape surrounding Point of Rocks consists of vast, arid plains that stretch toward a horizon where the distant Rocky Mountains appear as jagged, spectral silhouettes against an expansive sky. Three miles to the north, the waters of Jim Bridger Reservoir catch the thin, brilliant light of the high altitude, providing a rare depth of color to the otherwise monochromatic expanse of scrub and sage. Nearby, the topography rises into the sheltered relief of Threemile Meadow, offering a subtle reprieve from the relentless winds that scour the dusty, exposed earth.

History clings to the dust of Point of Rocks, a place where the echoes of the Overland Trail still influence the orientation of the land, marking the path of those who once sought passage through this unforgiving corridor. The local economy remains tethered to the rugged reality of the region, where the extraction of resources and the rhythm of the rail line dictate the cadence of daily existence. Nine miles away, the Natural Corrals Area of Critical Environmental Concern preserves the geological integrity of the terrain, serving as a reminder of the raw forces that shaped this territory. Life here is measured by the clarity of the light at dusk and the quiet resilience required to occupy a space where the elements retain absolute authority over the horizon.
