Weighing a property around Sleepy Hollow? Checking the Campbell County flood zone map reveals whether the lot falls inside a mapped floodplain, and it costs nothing to check. What this county guide covers: finding the address on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the county Beacon site around Echeta.
The Campbell County flood zone map: start here
For property near Pleastantdale, flood zones come from FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: enter the street address, and pick the FIRMette or map view. Rural land near Sleepy Hollow with no street number is still easy to locate: zoom in from the nearest road then click the parcel area.
The viewer Campbell County publishes
Your first stop is the Campbell County Beacon site; it includes every assessed parcel around Recluse and Echeta. In and around Gillette, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. In and around Sleepy Hollow, save the parcel ID from that panel; each office in the county will want it.
What the zone letters mean
In and around Sleepy Hollow, zones beginning with A or V are Special Flood Hazard Areas, which FEMA defines as a 1% annual chance of flooding. Closer to Sleepy Hollow, shaded Zone X is moderate risk, roughly the 100- to 500-year range; unshaded X is minimal risk.
Matching the zone to the lot lines
FEMA's map shows zones but not ownership, so open the Campbell County Beacon site next to confirm you have the right parcel near Sleepy Hollow.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Campbell County touches Powder River County, MT, Converse County, Crook County, Johnson County, and Sheridan County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Echeta may be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map too. For acreage around Sleepy Hollow, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map across Wyoming.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For a home near Pleastantdale, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Clerk. Long-held tracts near Echeta can sit on many deeds, and a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Limits of the parcel data
For property near Pleastantdale, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on the ground. For a tract near Pleastantdale, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Water near Pleastantdale
Small streams around Recluse may not have detailed mapping, so walk the land after rain. Wet ground around Echeta is a separate issue from flood zones; the National Wetlands Inventory mapper shows mapped wetlands.
Offices that can help
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Recluse come from the County Clerk, sometimes only in person. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Gillette go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
What a flood zone means for a buyer
For a structure inside an A or V zone and a federally regulated lender is involved, the lender will require flood insurance where the community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, which applies near Wright as much as anywhere. Remodeling a house in a zone near Sleepy Hollow usually means extra permit review; check with the county or town building office early.
What to request from a seller
For a home near Recluse, request for any Elevation Certificate before closing; an insurance quote early avoids surprises.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Gillette, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Pleastantdale with its ID is a good backup.
Sections, lots and bearings
Wyoming uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Pleastantdale is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Recluse odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Croton before you request a deed or survey.
Campbell County: common questions
What is a base flood elevation in Campbell County?
For land near Wright, the base flood elevation is the water level expected in the 1% annual chance flood, and an Elevation Certificate compares the building to it.

If the land is near Croton, shaded X is moderate risk and unshaded X is minimal risk, and floods still happen outside high-risk zones.
Is AE a high-risk flood zone near Sleepy Hollow?
For most people, AE is a Special Flood Hazard Area with a published base flood elevation, which shapes building rules near Recluse.
How often are flood maps updated in Campbell County?
For a parcel near Gillette, FEMA revises flood maps panel by panel as new studies finish, so look at the panel date.
How is land described in Wyoming deeds around Echeta?
In and around Sleepy Hollow, deeds use lot and block, metes and bounds or survey descriptions; copy it for any survey or title request.
