About this map

Hatchs Camp serves as a lone human landmark in this high-desert region of eastern Utah, where the landscape is defined by extensive ridgelines and intermittent water management. The topography is dominated by the massive Seep Ridge and Indian Ridge, which channel drainage into complex networks like Klondike Canyon and Indian Ridge Canyon.

Survival and land use in this arid environment are evidenced by a series of high-elevation catchments, including McCoy Reservoir Number 1, McCoy Reservoir Number 2, and the notably named Sunday School Reservoir within Sunday School Canyon. Transportation across the broken terrain relies on established routes such as Kings Wells Rd and Seep Ridge Rd, which follow the natural contours of the plateau to connect remote camps and water sources near the Sand Wash drainage.
