2015 Map of Reno Junction

About this map

Wright and the nearby intersection at Reno Junction anchor the southwestern corner of this Campbell County survey, where residential development meets the high plains of the Powder River Basin. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Belle Fourche River system, particularly the branching network of Hay Cr, W Fork Hay Cr, and E Fork Hay Cr which carve through the undulating terrain. To the east, the topography becomes more pronounced with features like Rocky Hill and a distinctive escarpment known as The Jumpoff. Significant drainage patterns are traced through School Section Draw and southward toward the N Prong Little Thunder Cr. The map captures a moment of late twentieth-century growth in the coal-rich region, evident in the residential street names of Wright such as Reno Dr and Winchester Rd, and the functional infrastructure of the Sager Reservoir.
