Cody: US 14/16/20 - Road Surface
Cody combines the practical character of a Wyoming service town with the frontier legacy of the American West in a way that reflects its position beside the Shoshone River, east of Yellowstone National Park. Founded by William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody in 1896, the city remains closely associated with the showman and with the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, a museum complex devoted to western art, Plains Indian culture, natural history and firearms. Cody sits on the high plains at the foot of the Absaroka Range, where U.S. Highways 14, 16 and 20 lead toward Yellowstone’s East Entrance. The surrounding country shifts from broad sagebrush country to Shoshone Canyon and mountain terrain, making Cody a working regional hub and a base for exploring northwest Wyoming.

The landscape around Cody is a semi-arid basin beside the Shoshone River and below the Absaroka Range, which has shaped both the town’s form and its ranching and tourism economy. Cody was founded in 1896 by William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, whose name remains central to its identity. The Buffalo Bill Center of the West brings together five museums on the American West, with collections covering Plains Indian cultures, natural history, firearms and western art. The annual Cody Stampede, held around Independence Day, continues the town’s long rodeo tradition.

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.
