Land Types in Wyoming

Wyoming has a very interesting landscape. The landforms in the area are rather unique, and make it the perfect oasis for anyone wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The great plains of North America actually extend into the eastern parts of the state. This allows for short grass and prairie land (the Black Hills are the only exception).

The Rocky Mountains provide over a dozen mountain ranges to cover the western portion of Wyoming, and you’ll find that the Laramie Mountains cover the southern landscape. The highest point is Gannett Peak, which has an elevation of 13,804 feet.

Between the eastern and western mountains you’ll find many flat basins. Many of these are treeless plateaus and include arid land. You need to be very careful between the mountains because a lot of this land is unproductive. This is why many properties in Wyoming will need to be examined and researched to ensure that the land will be viable for your usage.

There are many man-made reservoirs in the state, and there are significant rivers that flow through the area. You’ll find that Sweetwater and Yellowstone River are very popular along with Powder, Snake, Bighorn, Green and several other major rivers.

Wyoming has something for everyone. If you like the mountains, there are several ranges that you’ll be able to find land available on. There are also flat plains that are perfect for building homes or commercial structures, and there's farmland and ranchland in the state. It’s the perfect opportunity to set down your roots and make an investment for the long term. With the state's population growing quickly, your land investment may turn out to be the best investment of your life.
