Converse County, Wyoming

Converse Location Map Wyoming

Converse County is in the heart of Wyoming. It’s mostly prairie, broken up by buttes and the occasional mountain. The North Platte River snakes through, creating a green ribbon in the dry landscape.

Douglas, the county seat, is famous for its jackalope statue. It’s become a quirky symbol of the area. Oil and gas drive the economy these days. But ranching is still big. You’ll see plenty of cattle grazing on the open range.

Winters can be extremely cold here. The wind here’ll cut right through you. But summers are gorgeous. Locals love to get out and enjoy the land. Hiking, fishing, hunting… It’s all right outside your door.
