Latitude: N 44° 27' 37.5493" | Longitude: W 110° 49' 41.3465"
The center of the intersection of Sheridan Ave and 16th St, just down from the hospital, is located at 44.5260° north latitude 109.0563° west longitude. Other points around town have somewhat different coordinates.
The Black Hills are located in northeast Wyoming. The Great Plains are in the eastern region of the state. The Rocky Mountains are in the west, northwest, and south. The highest peak is Gannet Peak(13,785).
States with only straight borders could probably be defined just by longitude and latitude. Those states are: Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico - so 4 states. Colorado and Wyoming would be easiest since they are both essentially rectangles projected onto the sphere of the Earth. Utah is a little more complicated since Wyoming bites into one corner of the state. New Mexico would require the most latitude/longitude information since its Southern border is kind of jagged. All the other states have at least one border determined by a coastline or river or mountain range or some other feature that is most definitely NOT straight, thus cannot be accurately captured just by longitude and latitude.
That point is on the Wyoming/Montana line, about 3.3 miles south-southeast of Ridge, Montana.
A set of latitude/longitude numbers defines a single point. No two places can havethe same latitude and longitude, and in order for the pair of numbers to be evensimilar at both places, the places must be close together.-- The states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota,South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, and Maine allhave territory at the same latitude as places in Romania.-- No place anywhere in the US has a longitude at all similar to the longitude ofany place in Romania.
Wyoming.
Wyoming is a big place. The middle of the intersection of S Kendrick and E 5th, near the police station in Gillette, is located at 44.2903° north latitude 105.5026° west longitude. If you go to another town, or go anywhere else in Gillette, or step to the curb at that intersection, those numbers change.
It looks a lot like a set of geographic coordinates that describes the location of a point on Earth's surface. If we interpret it that way and look up the point, we find that it's located in the Teton Wilderness of western Wyoming, about 59 miles southwest of the center of Cody.

The point with these coordinates (latitude 44°N and longitude 111° West) is located on the western boundary of Wyoming, close to Jackson lake, Wyoming. This is in between Grand Teton national park and Yellowstone national park.
Wyoming has considerable semiarid grassland but little true desert.
