2015 Map of Little Thunder Reservoir

About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this portion of Campbell County, where the high plains are carved by a network of seasonal drainages. In the northwest corner, the developing edge of Wright appears with a residential street grid including Story Ave and Duffy Rd. The landscape is defined by its water management and topography, notably Little Thunder Reservoir and Stuart Reservoir, which serve this arid grazing land. Prominent elevations like Black Butte and Gray Butte rise above the surrounding terrain, while deep incisions such as Nicholson Draw and Black Butte Draw guide the flow of Little Thunder Creek and its tributaries. This 2015 survey provides a modern view of the land use patterns and infrastructure in a region where wide-open ranching country meets localized community growth.
