2015 Map of Hat Creek

About this map

Hat Creek serves as a central reference point in this high-plains landscape of eastern Wyoming, where the drainage patterns of Sage Cr and Spring Cr define the local topography. The north is marked by the elevated terrain of the Seaman Hills, while the remainder of the territory is characterized by a sparse, purposeful road network. Named routes such as Stage Rd and Hat Creek Rd suggest the enduring importance of established transit corridors in Niobrara County. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of local water sources like Cottonwood Cr and the range-line system of the American West, showing the spatial organization of T35N and T34N across the R63W and R62W boundaries. This is a study of a quiet ranching and transit landscape where drainage and elevation dictate the path of travel.
