Three Forks: US 287 Jeffrey City - East
Among the settlements of central Wyoming, Three Forks stands out for its position on the U.S. 287/Wyoming 789 corridor at the edge of the Wind River Basin. Low, weathered ridges of the Granite Mountains rise north of this broad sagebrush country, while the highway links Rawlins with Lander across a long, lightly populated part of the state. The locality is closely tied to nearby Jeffrey City, a former uranium-mining community that expanded during the 1950s after discoveries in the Gas Hills. Ranch land, roadside services and widely spaced buildings underline the practical character of this high-desert crossroads, where the route remains an important connection through central Wyoming.

The high, semi-arid plains of Wyoming’s Great Divide Basin define the setting of Three Forks — open sagebrush country, broad horizons and long distances shape this sparsely settled part of the state. The basin is an enclosed drainage area within the Continental Divide, a geographical distinction that sets it apart from river systems flowing toward either ocean. Three Forks lies in central Wyoming’s expansive interior, where roads, ranchland and changing weather are defining elements of travel.

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.
