Explore Rafter J Ranch, 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 Rafter J Ranch, 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 Rafter J Ranch.
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.

Rafter J Ranch occupies a wide, sage-dusted expanse within the broad reach of South Park, where the horizon is defined by the jagged, snow-dusted profile of the Tetons rising twenty-two miles to the west. It lies 4.2 miles south-southwest of Jackson, WY (from Jackson, WY: bearing 206°T), and is situated 0.4 miles northwest of South Park. The air here holds a thin, crystalline clarity that sharpens the edges of the landscape, turning the golden grasses of the basin into a shimmering field under the high, unrelenting sun. Flat Creek meanders just a mile from the property, cutting a quiet, willow-lined path through the valley floor that draws mule deer and elk toward its cool, rushing currents. Even when the wind scours the plains, the land retains a heavy, grounded stillness, as if the soil itself is waiting for the deep, violet shadows of late afternoon to settle over the sagebrush.
Rafter J Ranch serves as a modern residential anchor within a region defined by the persistent demands of the landscape and the lingering echoes of the working frontier. The economy here balances the legacy of livestock and land management with the contemporary needs of a community that borders Unknown Park, an open space that preserves the wild character of the valley. Residents maintain a pace dictated by the seasons, acknowledging the proximity of Turquoise Lake twelve miles away as a seasonal destination for those seeking the stillness of high-altitude water. Life at Rafter J Ranch moves with a deliberate, measured gravity, reflecting a culture that values the stark beauty of the Wyoming interior above the frantic tempo of urban life elsewhere.

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.
