How to Use This Sheridan, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Sheridan emerges from the high plains where the land begins to rise toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Bighorn Mountains. It lies 79.7 miles west-northwest of Gillette, WY (from Gillette, WY: bearing 297°T), and is situated 33.5 miles north-northwest of Buffalo. Little Goose Creek cuts a clear, persistent path through the landscape, providing a vital artery for the local flora and fauna that thrive in the shadows of the foothills. Nearby, Hume Ponds offer a quiet, reflective surface that mirrors the expansive Wyoming sky, standing in contrast to the rugged, arid character of Cemetery Draw. Whitney Commons Park serves as an accessible green space where the town’s rhythm slows, allowing the golden light of late afternoon to settle over the grass. The air here holds a crisp, thin clarity that defines the transition from the open prairie to the steeper, cooler inclines of the west.

Sheridan carries the weight of a frontier heritage that transformed from a collection of rugged outposts into a stable center for regional commerce. Early economic expansion relied heavily upon the coal mining industry, which drew laborers from across the globe and infused the local culture with a diverse, industrious spirit. Today, the economy balances this legacy with a commitment to agriculture, ranching, and a growing service sector that supports the surrounding rural expanse. Cattle still move through the corridors of the neighboring landscape, maintaining a connection to the traditional work that once defined the territory. Modern enterprises now operate alongside these older, earth-bound industries, ensuring that the livelihood of the residents remains tethered to the natural resources of the region.

Sheridan maintains a character shaped by the resilience of the West, where the tradition of the working cowboy remains an authentic part of daily life rather than a mere performance. The town hosts the annual Sheridan WYO Rodeo, an event that draws participants and spectators who honor the horsemanship and grit inherent to the high plains. Notable figures such as author Caroline Lockhart once found inspiration in the local terrain, contributing to a literary history that captures the harsh, beautiful reality of the interior. Landmarks like the historic downtown area reflect an architectural permanence, grounded in brick and stone that have weathered many decades of wind and winter. Residents move through their days with a steady, unpretentious focus, finding community in the shared experience of living beneath such an immense and demanding expanse of sky.

About This Sheridan Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sheridan, Wyoming. Coordinates: 44.797194, -106.956179. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Sheridan includes the ZIP code (82801), telephone area code (307), county seat of Sheridan County (Sheridan), and school district assignment (Sheridan County School District 2).

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.
