Biggest earthquakes in Wyoming since 1900

Quakes of magnitude 3.5+ by decade

Older decades look quieter partly because there were far fewer seismometers. Counts before about 1970 are incomplete.

Good to know

When was the last earthquake in Wyoming?

The most recent one we have is a magnitude 0.8, 39 km SSE of Mammoth, Wyoming, on November 11. The list above updates every few minutes.

What was the biggest earthquake in Wyoming?

A magnitude 6.5 near Madison Junction, Wyoming on August 18, 1959, the largest in the USGS catalog for the state since 1900.

Does Wyoming get earthquakes?

Wyoming gets real earthquakes, though far fewer than the West Coast. Since 1900 the USGS has recorded 279 of magnitude 3.5 or more, and 16 reached magnitude 5. The USGS national hazard map is the best guide to the chance of strong shaking where you live.

Other states

History: USGS earthquake catalog, magnitude 3.5 and up since 1900, matched to the state by location (quakes just offshore count for the nearest state). Live: USGS real-time feeds.
