About this map

Thunder Basin National Grassland dominates this landscape in Campbell County, where the high plains of Wyoming meet a complex network of seasonal drainages and topographic features. The settlement of Wright is situated in the northeastern corner, serving as a primary point of human activity amidst the expansive terrain. The land is defined by a series of significant draws and buttes, including Rattlesnake Butte and the namesake Rattlesnake Draw in the southeast, alongside Rocky Butte and Rocky Butte Gulch to the northwest.

Hydrological patterns are shaped by numerous creeks that carve through the grassland, such as Hay Creek, North Porcupine Creek, and Porcupine Creek. Small-scale water management is evident at the Reno Reservoir, which sits at the junction of several drainage systems. Transportation is limited to a few established routes like Cosner Road and Melicia Drive, reflecting the low-density development characteristic of this region.
