2017 Map of Fort Reno

About this map

Fort Reno and the adjacent Cantonment Reno stand along the banks of the Powder River, marking a critical juncture of Western frontier history. This landscape is deeply defined by the historic Bozeman Trl, which cuts across the terrain as it follows the drainage of the Dry Fork Powder River. The presence of the Reno Post Cem provides a tangible link to the military personnel who occupied this outpost during the Indian Wars era. Beyond the military sites, the map details a network of drainage systems and draws, including Reno Draw and Jepson Draw, alongside modern ranching infrastructure like Streeter Reservoir. The geography illustrates how early transportation corridors like the Bozeman Trail were dictated by water sources and the natural breaks in the hills.
