How to Use This Riverton, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Riverton occupies a stretch of high plains where the horizon pulls the sky low against the sagebrush. It lies 105.1 miles west of Casper, WY (from Casper, WY: bearing 277°T), and is situated 22.1 miles northeast of Lander. The land here is defined by the steady flow of the Wind River, which carves a path through the arid basin just a mile from the center of activity. To the west, the jagged silhouette of the Wind River Range looms against the sunset, marking the boundary of the rugged wilderness. Travelers passing through might notice how the light shifts across the flat expanse of Spencer Draw, turning the earth into shades of burnt orange and deep violet as the day wanes. Residents spend much of their time within the green boundaries of Riverton City Park, a protected space that offers a quiet refuge from the wind.

Riverton emerged from the intersection of agricultural ambition and the resource-rich soil of the high desert. The local economy has long leaned on the extraction of energy and the steady work of farming, drawing strength from the minerals beneath the dust. Industry here remains pragmatic, with the town serving as a hub for those who work the vast, open tracts of the surrounding plains. History is measured in the persistence of those who built homes against the seasonal intensity of the Wyoming weather. Even the nearby Gustin Number 2 Reservoir stands as a quiet witness to the effort required to manage water in such a demanding climate. Life in Riverton moves with the measured, deliberate pace of a place that understands the value of resilience and steady labor.

The character of Riverton is forged by a quiet independence and a deep connection to the regional landscape. People here often gather for community events that celebrate the legacy of the West, maintaining a culture that favors directness over artifice. While the town remains modest in its architecture, the presence of the Wind River provides a constant, rhythmic backdrop to daily affairs. Notable individuals like the late, renowned novelist Annie Proulx have captured the stark, uncompromising beauty of this specific country in their work, articulating the tension between the vast sky and the human spirit. Riverton reflects a genuine, unvarnished version of life where the silence of the plains is as significant as any landmark. Even the air feels different here, carrying the faint, clean scent of dry earth and sage that defines the Wyoming experience.
