2012 Map of Reno Flats

About this map

Reno Flats characterizes this high plains landscape of Campbell County, where the drainage network of the Powder River basin is etched into the terrain. The presence of Reno Ranch toward the south highlights the enduring cattle-ranching legacy of this region. Water remains the primary shaper of human activity and land use, marked by isolated points like Maycock Spring and Rock Spring which provided critical resources in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a complex system of seasonal watercourses, including Bates Creek and its tributary Little Bates Creek, alongside the various branches of Spring Creek. The topography is further defined by landforms such as Buck Draw, illustrating the erosional patterns common to the Wyoming backcountry during the early 21st century.
