About this map

The Old Hat Creek Stage Station marks a significant historical point of interest in this Niobrara County landscape, reflecting the region's heritage of frontier transportation. Situated along the corridor of U. S. Route 85, the settlement of Hat Creek serves as a modern anchor in a terrain defined by the striking Seaman Hills to the north and the Hat Creek Breaks to the south. The area is heavily intersected by intermittent waterways including Sage Creek, Spring Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, which have influenced the placement of early ranching and utility infrastructure. Evidence of modern land use is scattered throughout, from the Pipeline and multiple wells to local Landing Strips and industrial Gravel Pits. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of historical cattle country and mid-century resource extraction, captured during the early 1980s.
