Old Brooks Place: I 80 Elk Mountain - East
Old Brooks Place has served as a roadside point on Wyoming’s east–west transport corridor since Interstate 80 was completed in 1985. It lies beside I-80 in the broad, sparsely settled Great Divide Basin, a high-desert basin where the Continental Divide separates and later rejoins rather than sending drainage directly to an ocean. Long, low sagebrush-covered hills and open rangeland give this part of southern Wyoming its expansive scale. Freight traffic is central to the setting: I-80 is one of the principal cross-country highways in the United States, linking the region with Rawlins and communities farther west and east. The surrounding roads reflect a landscape shaped less by dense settlement than by ranching, energy development and long-distance 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.
