How to Use This Shoshoni, Wyoming Map

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

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.

Shoshoni claims its place upon a high, arid expanse where the persistent wind carries the scent of dry sage and oxidized earth. It lies 19.9 miles northeast of Riverton, WY (from Riverton, WY: bearing 43°T), and is situated 28.8 miles south of Thermopolis. Poison Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the sun-bleached landscape, its banks marking a quiet boundary for the low-slung architecture that defines the horizon. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains provide a jagged, violet-hued spine against the vast, pale sky, while the nearby waters of Boysen Reservoir offer a rare, shimmering contrast to the surrounding desert plains. Residents often gather at the Town of Shoshoni - Town Park, a modest patch of green that serves as a communal anchor against the relentless reach of the high-plains weather. The light here at dusk is particularly heavy and amber, transforming the rusted iron and weathered wood of the outskirts into something momentarily luminous and still.

Shoshoni grew from the iron veins of the railroad, a byproduct of the tracks that once funneled settlers and commerce into this rugged interior. The local economy has long been tethered to the pulse of the earth, drawing its vitality from the energy industry and the agricultural output of the nearby Missouri Valley. Life in Shoshoni moves with a deliberate, tempered pace, reflecting a history shaped by isolation and the hard-won resilience of those who cultivate the scrubland. While the town remains quiet, the remnants of its industrial heritage are evident in the utilitarian structures that dot the landscape, standing as stark markers of a frontier that never fully softened. It is a place where the silence is as much a part of the daily rhythm as the occasional rumble of a passing train, maintaining a character defined more by the vast, open horizon than by the fleeting fashions of the world beyond.

About This Shoshoni Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Shoshoni, Wyoming. Coordinates: 43.235792, -108.110372. 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 Shoshoni includes the ZIP code (82649), telephone area code (307), county seat of Fremont County (Lander), and school district assignment (Fremont County School District 24).

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.
