Explore Upton, 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 Upton, 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 Upton.
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.

Upton emerges from the expansive plains of Wyoming as a quiet assembly of rooftops caught beneath an immense, pale sky. It lies 45.3 miles east-southeast of Gillette, WY (from Gillette, WY: bearing 107°T), and is situated 27.0 miles northwest of Newcastle. Iron Creek carves a persistent path through the local terrain, its waters drawing a thin, dark line across the landscape that serves as a vital artery for the surrounding earth. Only a mile away, the quiet basin of Cox Draw catches the runoff of the seasons, while the nearby Materi Number 2 Reservoir holds its stillness against the constant, restless wind. The air here carries a dry, sharp clarity, and at dusk, the light stretches thin and amber over the prairie, casting long shadows that seem to anchor the buildings firmly into the soil.
History in Upton remains tethered to the iron rails that once dictated the pulse of the frontier, a legacy that survives in the steady, industrial hum of the local economy. Beyond the commerce of the tracks, the Upton Baseball Fields occupy a central place in the daily rhythm, where the crack of wood against leather punctuates the afternoons and serves as a gathering point for those who call this expanse home. While the distant Rocky Mountains remain a jagged, unreachable promise on the western horizon, the immediate life of the inhabitants is defined by the resilience of the high plains. The passage of time is measured not by monuments, but by the slow, seasonal shifts of the grass and the persistent, unyielding nature of the local work ethic.

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.
