2018 Map of Reno Flats

About this map

Reno Flats serves as a central point in this northern Campbell County landscape, where the high plains transition between vast rangelands and seasonal watercourses. The map is heavily marked by the Thunder Basin National Grassland, with numerous parcels designated as Tbng public lands. This checkerboard pattern of land management reflects the complex history of western homesteading and subsequent federal reclamation in the Powder River Basin. Drainage systems like Spring Cr and Bates Cr dictate the topography, supplemented by vital water sources such as Mancock Spring and Rock Spring. The terrain is further defined by erosional features like Buck Draw and the winding path of Little Bates Cr, illustrating the importance of water access for livestock and land use in this arid region.
