Hoback Junction: WYO 230 Skyline - East

Among the communities of Wyoming, Hoback Junction stands out for its location where the Hoback River meets the Snake River, south of Jackson. This is a working road crossroads in a broad mountain valley: routes from the Wyoming interior converge here before continuing north toward Jackson Hole and the Teton Range. The Hoback River is named for John Hoback, an early nineteenth-century fur trapper, linking the area to the era of Rocky Mountain exploration and the fur trade. Nearby, the river corridor and surrounding public lands establish the open, rugged character of western Wyoming.

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.
