How to Use This Wamsutter, Wyoming Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wamsutter, 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 Wamsutter.
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.

It lies 63.5 miles east of Rock Springs, WY (from Rock Springs, WY: bearing 84°T), and is situated 39.0 miles west-southwest of Rawlins. The land around Wamsutter manifests as a rugged prairie, punctuated by the subtle, arid depressions of Hansen Draw and the sparse, resilient scrub that clings to the alkaline soil. Threemile Ditch traces a quiet path through the terrain three miles away, while the waters of Frewen Lake offer a rare, reflective mirror to the sky at a similar distance. Far to the west, the jagged silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains haunt the edge of vision, reminding the observer of a world far removed from this stark, elemental plateau.
Wamsutter functions as a vital anchor for the energy industry, where the rhythmic pulse of natural gas extraction defines the local economy and the daily labor of its people. Long ago, the expansion of the rail lines carved a path through this wilderness, establishing a permanent human footprint amidst the sagebrush and the relentless, scouring winds. Residents gather at Wamsutter Municipal Park, a small island of order and green geometry amidst the sweeping, unvarnished landscape. The character of Wamsutter is forged in the endurance of those who work the gas fields, finding a strange, quiet beauty in the way the twilight deepens the gray shadows across the plains, turning the industrial silhouettes into dark, purposeful shapes against a darkening amber glow.

About This Wamsutter Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wamsutter, Wyoming. Coordinates: 41.673014, -107.979249. 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 Wamsutter includes the ZIP code (82336), telephone area code (307), county seat of Sweetwater County (Green River), and school district assignment (Sweetwater County School District 1).
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.
