How to Use This Reliance, Wyoming Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Reliance, 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 Reliance.

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.

About Reliance, Wyoming

Reliance is a locality in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, United States. It is a small community with a population of 622. The population density is 58.3 people per km². Reliance is located at 41.6691°N, 109.1971°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 82943.

Reliance occupies a spare, high-desert plateau where the horizon stretches thin and taut against a pale, unrelenting sky. It lies 5.7 miles north of Rock Springs, WY (from Rock Springs, WY: bearing 3°T), and is situated 4.0 miles east-northeast of North Rock Springs. The earth here is composed of muted ochre and gray shale, broken only by the persistent, arid scrub that clings to the dry ground. Killpecker Creek traces a quiet, narrow path through the landscape nearby, its presence marked by little more than a slight deepening of the soil’s color and the occasional cluster of hardy, wind-bent brush. Far to the west, the jagged, snow-dusted edges of the Rocky Mountains haunt the skyline like a fading memory, while the open expanse of the North Baxter Basin slopes away into a vast, silent emptiness that defines the local weather and the sheer, expansive reach of the light.

Reliance emerged from the industrial necessity of the coal mines, its character forged by the grit and labor that once defined the regional economy. The remnants of that era persist in the quietude of the present, where the pace of life adheres to the slow, steady rotation of the seasons rather than the frantic pulse of modern commerce. Residents gather at Reliance Park, a local space that serves as a communal anchor amidst the wide, open plains. Though the distant waters of Flaming Gorge Reservoir offer a reservoir of cool depth miles away, the daily reality here remains tied to the dry, sage-scented air and the enduring resilience of a place that has long outlived its original purpose, settling into a calm, solitary existence on the Wyoming high desert.
