Explore Red Butte, 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 Red Butte, 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 Red Butte.
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.

Red Butte endures as a stark geological sentinel, rising from the expansive plains where the North Platte River carves a deliberate, winding path through the arid earth. It lies 7.4 miles southwest of Casper, WY (from Casper, WY: bearing 236°T), and is situated 4.2 miles southwest of Mills. Webb Draw serves as the immediate foundation for the local topography, a natural basin that channels the infrequent rains into a landscape dominated by pale, sun-bleached grasses and the occasional stubborn shrub. The light here possesses a singular, crystalline quality at dusk, turning the dusty soil into a bruised violet that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped beneath the horizon. To the far west, the jagged silhouette of the Rocky Mountains haunts the skyline, a distant reminder of the violent tectonic shifts that shaped this quiet, high-altitude corner of the world.
Red Butte preserves the echoes of early homesteaders who sought sustenance in the unforgiving soil, a legacy that remains visible in the resilient, modest architecture of the present day. The regional economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of agriculture and the cautious management of natural resources, with the proximity of Prairie Park providing a sanctuary for native flora and fauna that persist despite the encroaching modern pace. Residents look toward the distant Garden Creek Waterfall or the stillness of Sage Creek Reservoir for recreation, finding a rare solace in the cold, clear water that contrasts sharply with the surrounding dry terrain. Life in Red Butte moves with the deliberate gravity of a place that understands its own isolation, grounded by the iron-rich soil that gives the land its namesake color and a persistent, quiet dignity.

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.
