Kirby: US 20 - Junction - North

The landscape around Kirby is dry and open within Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and its ranching-based local economy. The Bighorn River runs through the wider basin, while the Owl Creek Mountains rise to the south, placing the community between irrigated river country and rugged high ground. Kirby stands on the road between Thermopolis and Worland, a practical route across north-central Wyoming. It is also home to Wyoming Whiskey, a distillery that has given this small Hot Springs County town a place in the state’s modern spirits industry.

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.
