1985 Map of Nugget

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The settlement of Nugget marks a key point in this western Wyoming landscape where the Tunp Range and Rock Creek Ridge converge. Located along the path of Twin Creek, the area is defined by sharp topographic shifts through Nugget Canyon and Millet Canyon. To the northeast, the presence of Fossil Butte National Monument and the massive Fossil Butte indicate a region shaped by significant geologic history. The landscape is also dotted with curiously named water features like Smallpox Creek and Bullpen Creek, alongside thermal or mineral indicators such as Sulphur Spring. Evidence of former transportation infrastructure is preserved in the Old Railroad Grade that winds through the valley, tracing a historical route alongside the modern flow of water and travel through Lincoln County.
