About this map

Chugwater sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape where the Platte and Laramie county lines meet. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Chugwater Flats and the drainage network of Chugwater Cr, which parallels the main transportation corridor. A series of descriptive road names including Iron Mountain Rd, Lone Tree Rd, and Windmill Rd hint at the ranching infrastructure and isolated landmarks that define this region of Wyoming. To the south, the headwaters of Bear Cr and N Bear Cr emerge near Mud Spring, illustrating the vital water sources in an otherwise semi-arid environment. The grid-like division of the land through various townships like t20n r66w shows the systematic settlement and ranching parcels that have shaped the local geography into the modern era.
