About this map

Wright and its surrounding high plains landscape define this portion of Campbell County, where the transition from residential outskirts to the expansive Thunder Basin National Grassland is clearly marked. The topography is shaped by a complex network of drainage systems, including Little Thunder Cr, Nicholson Draw, and Cripple Cr, which wind through the grasslands toward water features like Little Thunder Reservoir and Rochelle Lake. On the northern edge of this quadrangle, the Wright Cem serves as a significant local landmark for genealogists and family historians.

Prominent geological features such as Black Butte and Gray Butte rise above the drainage basins of Black Butte Draw and Gray Cr, illustrating the area's characteristic coal-country relief. The local road network, featuring names like Little Thunder Rd and Edwards Rd, provides a framework for understanding modern property divisions and access across the undulating prairie and intermittent stream beds of northeast Wyoming.
