Where is Hadley?


"Hadley's Hunters" (25 September 1960), the second episode in season four of Maverick (1957-1962) has brief crossovers with Dan Troop and Johnny McKay from Lawman (1958-1962), Cheyenne Bodie from Cheyenne (1955-1963), Tom Brewster from Sugerfoot (1957-1961), Bronco Layne from Bronco (1958-1962), and the empty office of Christopher Colt from Colt.45 (1957-1960). Thus all those shows should happen in the 1870s and/or early 1880s.

In the town of Hadley, Bart gets in trouble with crooked Sheriff Hadley and is ordered to bring in an escaped prisoner in five days. If Bart doesn't return in five days crooked Sheriff Hadley will offer a $ 1,000.00 reward to his bounty hunters for bringing in Bart dead or alive, and they prefer to bring them in dead.

Bart travels to several nearby towns looking for the fugitive before heading back to Hadley. And it is during those travels that he briefly meets Dan Troop and Johnny McKay from Lawman (1958-1962), Cheyenne Bodie from Cheyenne (1955-1963), Tom Brewster from Sugerfoot (1957-1961), Bronco Layne from Bronco (1958-1962), and the empty office of Christopher Colt from Colt.45 (1957-1960).

I don't know which real or fictional western town Christopher Colt from Colt.45 (1957-1960) had his office in. I don't know if Tom Brewster or Bronco Layne lived in towns or wandered around. Cheyenne wandered all over the west and might be found anywhere.

But Marshal Dan Troop and Deputy Johnny McKay are seen in what looks like their office in Lawman (1958-1962). And Lawman (1958-1962) was set in Laramie, Wyoming.

Laramie, Wyoming is about 20 miles north of the Colorado border and about 115 miles west of the Nebraska border. So unless Bart traveled on a train off screen during "Hadley's Hunters", Hadley would have to be somewhere in southern Wyoming or northern Colorado.
