2014 Map of Hanksville

About this map

Hanksville serves as the central hub of this desert landscape, situated at the confluence of the Fremont River and Bull Cr. The map details the village's layout, including the Po and a network of local streets like S Center St and S 100 E. Beyond the settlement, the terrain transitions into the vast San Rafael Desert to the east and the South Pinto Hills to the west. This area is defined by its complex drainage systems, featuring numerous ephemeral washes such as Dry Valley Wash and Collie Wash. These hydrological patterns dictate the local infrastructure, with man-made water management features like Beef Hollow Reservoir, Step Reservoir, and Meadow Gulch Reservoir scattered across the high desert benches. The map also records the surrounding landmarks used for navigation, from the prominent Blue Knoll to the sharply defined Penitentiary Point.
