1996 Map of Nye

About this map

Stillwater River drainage dominates this late twentieth-century survey, where the waterway flows through the rugged transition from high mountain forest to valley flats. The settlement of Nye serves as a focal point near the confluence of the West Fork Stillwater River, featuring local infrastructure such as a Substa, a Gaging Sta, and a Cem. The landscape is sharply defined by the boundaries of the Custer National Forest, which covers the southern and western portions of the quadrangle with dense contours and numerous springs like Ekwortzel Spring and Custer Spring. To the west, Horseman Flats and the uniquely named Buffalo Jump suggest a long history of land use. Evidence of the local economy appears in Robinson and scattered Gravel Pits, while numerous Corrals and 4WD tracks indicate the area's continued reliance on ranching and backcountry access.
