Want a copy of the Campbell County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, and it's handy for land around Wright. What this Campbell County guide covers: what's in a plat book, where to look for printed copies, and how the county viewer fills the gaps.
Tracking down a Campbell County plat book
If the land is near Wright, plat books are commercial atlases, that map ownership across the countryside, usually township by township.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Campbell County Beacon site; it maps every assessed parcel around Croton and Echeta. Out toward Pleastantdale, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If the land is near Echeta, copy the parcel ID from that panel; every office in the county will want it.
Who uses plat books
Farmers, hunters and appraisers near Gillette use plat books to see ownership across many tracts at once.
A word on accuracy
If you're looking near Croton, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on the ground. On ground around Wright, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
The county borders Powder River County, MT, Converse County, Crook County, Johnson County, and Sheridan County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map for land near Wright. A tract near the line by Wright may be split across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map too. Out toward Gillette, our state page links each neighboring county map for Wyoming.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Wright belong with the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Croton are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Getting your bearings
Gillette is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Wright, Sleepy Hollow, Croton, and Echeta, each with its own cluster of lots. About 47,498 people call Campbell County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 4,802 square miles. The county was organized in 1911, so old deeds can run back a long way around Pleastantdale.
Buying or borrowing a copy
Libraries near Sleepy Hollow sometimes keep past atlases, which helps when tracing a farm's history.
Current ownership online
For current names, use the Campbell County Beacon site, across the county.
Legal descriptions in Wyoming
Wyoming follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Recluse reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Sleepy Hollow can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Croton when you talk to a surveyor.
Where the recorded documents are
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, which applies near Gillette as much as anywhere. On ground around Pleastantdale, use the document number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Two kinds of plat
For property near Gillette, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the County Clerk is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Recluse, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Echeta keeps working without signal.

Screenshot each section of the viewer around Wright to build your own up-to-date atlas.
