Other tributaries are Steep Creek, Fall Creek, and Vista Creek. The original gold discovery on Nugget Creek was on what is now called Middle Basin but was known to the miners as Sunrise Basin. The Treadwell Mining Company built a hydro-electric plant, utilizing the waters of Nugget Creek, in 1913 and 1914. The plant, which has been closed since 1944, is reached by a spur from the Mendenhall Loop Road and a trail leads from the end of this spur to Middle Basin on Nugget Creek.

Water Claims

Stillman Lewis, August 20, 1881 water claim at Bullion Creek - on the eastern side of Douglas Island. Modern maps show this as the creek discharging into Gastineau Channel approximately one mile south of Treadwell and directly opposite Sheep Creek. Early mining records indicate, however, that this was originally Ready Bullion Creek, a name now applied to the next creek to the south, and it is so shown on some of the earlier maps.

Matt McMahon, December 29, 1884 water claim at Grant Creek - a small stream on Douglas Island, flowing into the Gastineau Channel opposite Norway Point.

John McLaughlin, December 29, 1884 water claim at Grant Creek - a small stream on Douglas Island, flowing into the Gastineau Channel opposite Norway Point.

G. W. Pickett, August 20, 1881 water claim at Bullion Creek - on the eastern side of Douglas Island. Modern maps show this as the creek discharging into Gastineau Channel approximately one mile south of Treadwell and directly opposite Sheep Creek. Early mining records indicate, however, that this was originally Ready Bullion Creek, a name now applied to the next creek to the south, and it is so shown on some of the earlier maps.

Michael Powers, April 4, 1884 claimed water rights at Granite Creek - a principal tributary to Gold Creek, flowing from the east.
