Explore Whiting, 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 Whiting, 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 Whiting.
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.

Whiting occupies a stretch of high, scrub-brushed earth where the horizon pulls tight against the sky, dominated by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of Rock Creek. It lies 58.3 miles north-northeast of Laramie, WY (from Laramie, WY: bearing 34°T), and is situated 2.9 miles south of Wheatland. The landscape unfolds in muted tones of sage and pale ochre, characterized by the subtle, downward slope of Ayers Draw that breaks the monotony of the plains. To the southwest, the Cooney Hills rise like a jagged, ink-stained line, providing a constant, silent perimeter to the view. Light here has a peculiar, thin clarity that defines the edges of the dry grasses, turning the afternoon shadows into long, sharp slivers that stretch across the open ground. Three miles to the north, the still surface of Roath Reservoir catches the sky, acting as a quiet anchor in a territory defined by its openness and the constant, dry breath of the wind.
Whiting carries the weight of a history rooted in the hard, unyielding labor of the high plains, where the economy remains tethered to the slow cycles of agriculture and the maintenance of the land. Life maintains a steady, deliberate pace, punctuated by the occasional traveler stopping to navigate the fairways of the Wheatland Golf Club (Public) rather than the bustle of more crowded corridors. The dust of the surrounding plateau seems to settle into the very grain of the wooden structures, a reminder of the isolation that shapes the local character. Despite the quietude, there is a fierce, internal endurance in the way the day begins and ends, with the residents moving through their tasks under an immense, unblinking vault of blue. It is a place where the stillness is not an absence of sound, but a heavy, tangible presence that commands a certain level of respect for the sheer scale of the Wyoming earth.

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.
