Campbell County lies in northeast Wyoming. Gillette and Wright were described as midway between the Black Hills and the Big Horn Mountains, on the rolling plains of the ancient Powder River Basin.
Gillette and Wright
In 2008, Gillette and Wright were the two incorporated communities in Campbell County. Gillette was the principal population center in the Data Center’s tables, while Wright represented the county’s southern community. CCEDC served the entire county, including both communities and rural areas.
Powder River Basin setting
The home and community pages repeatedly used the Powder River Basin to explain place and economy. They connected the rolling high-plains landscape with coal, oil, natural gas, power generation, mining-support work and the infrastructure serving those industries. The map therefore functioned as more than orientation: it situated the economic-development story in a resource basin with long regional connections.
Transportation context
The airport was four miles north of Gillette off United States Highways 14 and 16. Period air destinations included cities in Colorado, Utah, Montana and North Dakota, while four railway companies served the county.
Together, those sections show how the map supported the business pages: readers could place communities, sites and facilities within a wider transportation network. No current route, property or access claim is made here.
Place in the CCEDC site
Geographic orientation accompanied sections on economic development, community development, workforce development, buildings and sites, outside resources and investor relations. A shorter related page used the title “CCEDC Map.”
