Oatman Flat Station, later Fourr's Stage Station, was a stagecoach station of the Butterfield Overland Mail located along the Gila River in Maricopa County, Arizona. The site was located 20 miles (32 km) east of Flap-Jack Ranch and 20 miles (32 km) west of Murderer's Grave Station, near the Gila River at Oatman Flat. It is to the east of the Oatman Grave (33°00′16″N 113°09′21″W / 33.00444°N 113.15583°W), where the family of Olive Oatman was buried following their massacre on the Southern Emigrant Trail by Yavapai in 1851.
