Crowheart: US 26/287 - West
Crowheart has served as a ranching community in central Wyoming since the early 20th century. The settlement lies on U.S. Route 26 in the broad Wind River Valley, a working landscape of irrigated fields, grazing land and widely spaced homesteads. To the west, the Wind River Range forms the defining mountain wall of this part of the state. Crowheart takes its name from Crowheart Butte, associated with an 1866 battle between Eastern Shoshone warriors and Blackfeet fighters. Today the community remains a small road-and-ranch stop between larger Wyoming towns, with the scale of the surrounding valley central to its identity.

Built around a rural junction on US Highway 26/287, Crowheart grew into a small Wind River Basin community within the Wind River Indian Reservation. The Wind River passes through sagebrush country nearby, with the Wind River Range to the south and the Absaroka Range to the northwest. Crowheart Butte recalls a traditional account of a Shoshone victory over Crow warriors, from which the settlement takes its name. The reservation is home to the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around the Wind River Basin.

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.
