Explore Powell, 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 Powell, 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 Powell.
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.

Powell emerges from the expansive horizon of the high plains, where the open sky dictates the rhythm of the day. It lies 21.5 miles northeast of Cody, WY (from Cody, WY: bearing 43°T), and is situated 18.9 miles west-southwest of Lovell. The Garland Canal courses through the landscape, acting as a vital artery for the surrounding agricultural fields that stretch toward the Powell Flats. To the west, the jagged, snow-dusted peaks of the Beartooth Mountains provide a constant, silent backdrop to the daily chores of the region. Residents often find respite at Washington Park, a quiet green space that captures the golden, slanted light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the Jim Bridger Trail offers a path for those seeking to traverse the rugged, sage-brushed terrain.
Powell carries the legacy of early twentieth-century reclamation efforts, which transformed a stark, arid basin into a productive expanse of green fields. The local economy remains deeply rooted in this agricultural heritage, with sugar beets, barley, and beans forming the primary yield of the surrounding acreage. Large-scale farming operations and specialized seed production facilities define the industrial character, reflecting a pragmatic focus on the land’s natural capacity. In the quiet hours of the morning, the hum of machinery often serves as a reminder of the steady, disciplined work required to maintain such an environment. This industrious spirit is complemented by the Ralston Reservoir, which serves as a necessary water resource for the area’s irrigation and irrigation-fed growth.
Powell fosters a cultural character defined by self-reliance and an understated, neighborly grace that persists despite the isolation of the high desert. Notable landmarks include the local educational institutions, which anchor the social life of the residents and provide a venue for seasonal gatherings. While the pace of life remains slow and deliberate, the community often organizes events that celebrate the harvest and the enduring traditions of the region. The area is not defined by the fame of individuals, but rather by the collective effort of those who choose to build a life against the backdrop of such vast, untamed space. Visitors who travel through find a place that values the clarity of the air and the quiet dignity of a well-tended field.

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.
