About this map

Nickelson Place serves as a primary reference point in this high-desert landscape of Hot Springs County, where the terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features and seasonal drainages. The namesake Devil Slide and the prominent Twin Buttes anchor the northern and western reaches of the sheet, illustrating the geologically varied character of the Wyoming interior.

Surface water is represented by a network of intermittent creeks including Buffalo Cr, Jones Cr, and Antelope Cr, which have carved significant landforms like Grider Canyon and Jones Creek Canyon. Rural access is provided by unpaved tracks such as Wild Horse Butte Rd and Buffalo Creek Rd, tracing routes through the Grider Basin and toward Moore Springs. This survey documents the ranching and natural landscape as it existed in the early twenty-first century, preserving the placement of family-named landmarks and remote water sources.
