2021 Map of Hamlet

About this map

Hamlet serves as the primary settlement in this corner of Hayes County, situated in the southwest where the open plains give way to more complex drainage patterns. The community is positioned just south of Stinking Water Cr, a waterway that has carved distinct breaks across the landscape. The topographic survey reveals a systematic grid of section roads including Rd 736 and Rd 731, which connect the scattered agricultural holdings and rural infrastructure. Genealogists and local historians will find Meadow Lawn Cem located northwest of the village, serving as a permanent record for the area's families. The terrain is marked by significant natural features like Corral Canyon, illustrating the transition from flat upland fields to the eroded valleys of the Nebraska sandhills region. Modern transportation follows the path of history along Old Us Hwy 6, which runs parallel to the railroad corridor through the valley.
