Wyoming: Chugwater

N 41° 51.184' W 89° 10.977'

It may sound like a suggestion to stay hydrated, but the origin of the name Chugwater, while not entirely known, most likely comes from the Native American Mandan tribe. Legend has it that cliffs in the area were used for buffalo jumps — a hunting method in which buffalo herds were forced over the edge — and, when they fell in the waters below, a “chug” sound could be heard. (We’ll stick to the hydration advice instead!)
