2017 Map of Hamlet

About this map

Hamlet occupies the southwestern corner of this Hayes County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate drainage system of Frenchman Creek. The village is laid out along a traditional grid, featuring Wise St and the historic path of Old US Hwy 6. This 2017 survey reveals a rural Nebraska environment defined by the convergence of water and terrain, specifically where Stinking Water Creek winds through the hills north of the settlement. To the west of the town site, the Meadow Lawn Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest, overlooking the creek valley. The map also documents the transition from the relatively flat uplands, crisscrossed by a numbered road system like Rd 736, to the more broken topography of Corral Canyon, illustrating the varied Nebraska prairie landscape.
