About this map

Hanksville stands at the northern edge of this Utah landscape, situated near the confluence of the Fremont River and Bull Cr. The settlement is defined by its grid of local streets like Center St and Locust Ln, serving as a gateway to the arid terrain that stretches southward. The geography is characterized by a series of washes and drainage patterns, including Cow Wash, Collie Wash, and Sand Wash, which carve through the high desert floor.

Evidence of water management in this dry environment is visible through features such as Step Reservoir and Beef Hollow Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the South Pinto Hills in the west toward the vast expanse of the San Rafael Desert to the east. Distinctive landmarks like Blue Knoll, Penitentiary Point, and the Halfway Bench provide vertical relief and navigational points for those traveling along the Sawmill Basin Rd or the Dry Valley Rd.
