Everywhere you look on the Essential Geography, you find a mosaic of geographic features that make that place unique in all the world.
If you happened to look up Pinedale, Wyoming, you'd find more about this place than it is in the western part of the state, between Jackson and Rock Springs. You'd also find: At over 7000 ft in elevation, Pinedale lies on the upper Green River, in a broad valley that is surrounded on three sides by forested mountains. East of town, the Wind River Range rises impressively to 13,804 ft, at state highpoint Gannett Peak; while the Continental Divide and the Continental Divide Trail each run the length of the range. To the west, the Wyoming Range reaches 11,417 ft. Access to Pinedale is via US Hwy 191. And, finally, several other towns lie nearby, just west of the Green River. In other words, when you look up Pinedale, you get to enjoy a visually-pleasing exploration of the geography that makes this place unique and interesting.
You can take your enjoyment a few steps further, and note: To get from Pinedale to the resort town of Jackson, you pass through forested mountains. The Green River empties into the Colorado; while nearby to the NW, the Snake River is a tributary of the Columbia; and just across the Continental Divide, the Wind River finds its way to the Mississippi, via the Big Horn, Yellowstone and Missouri. If that's not enough exploration, checkout what other places US Hwy 191 passes through on its way north to Canada, and south to Mexico.
