About location

Few places in central Wyoming have a history as closely tied to long-distance road travel as Three Forks. The locality stands along the shared corridor of US 287 and Wyoming Highway 789, in the open country of the state’s south-central interior. Low, rugged ranges rise beyond rangeland and fence lines, while the broad surrounding basin is marked by long straight roads and sparse development. Three Forks is a practical crossroads for traffic moving between the Wind River Basin and Rawlins. Its character is defined by Wyoming’s vast distances, working rangeland and the highways that connect far-flung communities.

The high, semi-arid plains of Wyoming’s Great Divide Basin define the setting of Three Forks — open sagebrush country, broad horizons and long distances shape this sparsely settled part of the state. The basin is an enclosed drainage area within the Continental Divide, a geographical distinction that sets it apart from river systems flowing toward either ocean. Three Forks lies in central Wyoming’s expansive interior, where roads, ranchland and changing weather are defining elements of travel.

Region 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.
