Old Brooks Place: I 80 Elk Mountain - West
The high plains of southern Wyoming define the setting of Old Brooks Place — expansive, largely treeless rangeland gives Interstate 80 and its junctions a distinctly open scale. This small road location is in Carbon County, between Laramie and Rawlins, in a part of the state where long-distance highway travel is central to everyday connections. Interstate 80 is one of the United States’ principal east–west routes and crosses Wyoming on its way between the Great Plains and the Great Basin. The Interstate Highway System itself was authorized by federal law in 1956. At Old Brooks Place, paved ramps, service roads and broad rights-of-way emphasize the functional character of this major transportation corridor.

Wyoming stretches from the Montana border to its frontiers with Colorado and Utah, encompassing the high Rockies, broad basins, and Great Plains. The Continental Divide crosses the state, while the Wind River and Bighorn River drain contrasting sides of its interior. In the northwest, Yellowstone National Park—established in 1872 as the world’s first national park—and Grand Teton National Park place geothermal country and sharp mountain relief at the centre of Wyoming’s identity. Ranching remains integral to its open-country culture, alongside communities shaped by railroads, energy, and outdoor travel.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
