Elevation Map of Wyoming

This Wyoming topographic elevation map shows the Equality State in 24 terraced elevation bands. The scale runs from 945 meters (3,100 ft) up to 4,209 meters (13,809 ft). Each band steps through the relief in sequence, so the map reads like a physical relief model. Lowlands appear in deep greens, middle elevations warm into golds and reds, and the highest terrain fades into grays and whites.

Wyoming covers about 253,335 square kilometers (97,812 sq mi). Gannett Peak beats the more famous Grand Teton by about 30 meters. Meanwhile, the entire state floor stays higher than 900 meters on this relief map.

Highest Point in Wyoming

Gannett Peak, at 13,809 ft (4,209 m), is the highest point in Wyoming. On this topographic map, it anchors the pale summit end of the elevation scale.

Lowest Point in Wyoming

The lowest point in Wyoming is the Belle Fourche River in the northeast, at an elevation of 3,100 ft (945 m). On the relief map, this terrain fills the deep green base of the color scale.

Wyoming Map Datasets

I prepared this relief map with elevation data from the AWS Terrain Tiles dataset. The dataset builds on the NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) along with other open topographic sources, and it serves global elevation data as map tiles that anyone can access.

The map spaces its 24 elevation bands with a blend of two methods. Half of the spacing follows equal elevation steps. The other half follows equal land area, a technique known as histogram equalization.

Why blend them?

A fixed interval scale would leave flatter regions sitting in a single color, which hides their topography. On the other hand, full histogram equalization would push a quarter of the land into summit tones. The blend lets this elevation map use the entire relief palette while the legend stays honest. Each label marks the true elevation behind its band, which is why the values are not evenly spaced.
