Chugwater Creek is a tributary of the Laramie River, approximately 81 mi (130 km) long in southeastern Wyoming in the United States.
It rises in the Laramie Mountains in eastern Albany County, northeast of Laramie. It flows northeast, emerging from the mountains and flowing past Chugwater, where it turns NNW, flowing past Slater and joining the Laramie approximately 7 mi (11 km) northeast of Wheatland.
The town of Chugwater, itself, is named after ChugwaterCreek.
This region, it is said, affords gold; and, indeed, I have received frequent assurances that this valuable metal has been procured, in small particles, from among the sand of the creek-bed.
In 1871 Mills died and Hunton then bought his half interst in the herd, which was the first herd of stock cattle located on Chugwatercreek.
