2020 Map of Hatton

About this map

Hatton and Cunningham anchor this high-desert landscape in Adams County, where the topography is defined by the unique geological cuts of the Channeled Scablands. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Lind-Hatton Rd and Kulm Rd Se, which cross the undulating expanse of the Kansas Prairie. The terrain is deeply inscribed by coulees—steep-walled, dry canyons formed by ancient glacial floods—most notably Providence Coulee in the north and the namesake Hatton Coulee which skirts the southern edge of the town of Hatton. The concentration of transportation infrastructure, such as Neilson Rd and Pence Rd, follows these natural drainage corridors, illustrating how the regional topography dictated the development of travel routes between small agricultural hubs.
