Shoshoni: US 20 Thermopolis - South
Shoshoni combines the openness of the Wind River Basin with the constricted terrain of Wind River Canyon in a way that reflects its geographic position in central Wyoming. North of town, U.S. 20/26 follows the river through a deep rock-walled corridor toward Thermopolis and the Bighorn Basin. This is dry country of broad benches, scrub-covered slopes and long road distances, sharply altered where the river cuts through the Owl Creek Mountains. Shoshoni takes its name from the Shoshone people; southeast of the canyon, the Wind River Reservation is home to the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. The route gives the small town a practical role in journeys across Wyoming’s interior.

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.
