Powell: US 14A - West
Powell has served as an agricultural town in Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin since the early 20th century. It developed as a planned community within the federal Shoshone Project, whose irrigation works turned parts of this dry basin into productive farmland. The town lies near the Shoshone River, between the Absaroka Range to the west and the Bighorn Mountains to the east. Northwest College gives Powell an educational presence, while the Homesteader Museum records the experiences of settlers who farmed the project lands. Broad streets, grain and sugar-beet fields, and practical small-town services reflect a community shaped by water management and agriculture.

The Bighorn Basin defines the setting of Powell — its wide, irrigated plains support fields and give this northwestern Wyoming town an expansive horizon below the Absaroka Range. Founded in 1909 during development of the federal Shoshone irrigation project, Powell grew as an agricultural centre; sugar beets, beans and other crops remain part of the local economy. Northwest College adds a campus presence, while the nearby Heart Mountain Interpretive Center documents the wartime confinement of Japanese Americans at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center.

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.
