Before you buy or build near Sleepy Hollow, check the Gillette flood map: a mapped flood zone changes insurance, building rules and resale. This Gillette guide covers: finding the address on FEMA's map, reading the zone codes, and pairing it with the Campbell County Beacon site.
Where the Gillette flood map lives
The official source is FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: type an address near Sleepy Hollow, and pick the FIRMette or map view. A tract near Sleepy Hollow without an address is still easy to locate: zoom in from the nearest road and click inside the land.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Campbell County Beacon site; it includes each assessed parcel around Sleepy Hollow and Wright. Near Sleepy Hollow, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a home near Sleepy Hollow, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Where Gillette fits in
Gillette sits in Campbell County, Wyoming, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Gillette hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. For a parcel near Sleepy Hollow, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits near Wright often follows county rules instead.
What the zone letters mean
An AE label carries a published BFE, while plain Zone A does not; surveyors near Sleepy Hollow use that number. For land near Sleepy Hollow, shaded Zone X marks moderate flood hazard, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; unshaded X is minimal risk.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Wright are filed with the County Clerk. Long-held tracts around Sleepy Hollow can go back through several deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Use the county map alongside FEMA
FEMA's map shows zones but not ownership, so check the Campbell County Beacon site too for the outline of the tract near Sleepy Hollow.
Sections, lots and bearings
Wyoming is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Wright reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Wright can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Wright before you request a deed or survey.
Campbell County in a few facts
Gillette holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Wright and Sleepy Hollow, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 47,498 people call Campbell County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 4,802 square miles. Campbell County dates to 1911, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Lenders and permits
For land near Sleepy Hollow, get the Elevation Certificate if one exists: it compares the building to the BFE. New construction in a floodplain near Sleepy Hollow often needs a floodplain permit; ask the local floodplain administrator early.
What to request from a seller
Ask the listing agent for any Elevation Certificate on the property near Sleepy Hollow; an insurance quote early avoids surprises.
Offices that can help
For assessment questions about property around Wright go to the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Wright go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Low spots and local drainage
Creeks and ditches near Wright aren't always studied in detail, so walk the land after rain. Wet ground around Sleepy Hollow is a separate issue from flood zones; the National Wetlands Inventory mapper shows mapped wetlands.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Sleepy Hollow. For a tract near Sleepy Hollow, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
