About this map

Hanksville serves as the primary hub in this desert landscape where the Fremont River and Bull Cr converge. The settlement is defined by a grid including Center St and Hanksville Pk, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding arid terrain of the San Rafael Desert. The topography is marked by numerous washes and canyons, such as Collie Wash, Cow Wash, and Bull Wash, which channel seasonal water across the high plains.

Evidence of water management and range improvement appears through features like the Meadow Gulch Reservoir and Beef Hollow Reservoir. Distinctive geological landmarks including Blue Knoll, Penitentiary Point, and White Point provide navigation points across the broken ground. For those studying the region's transport and land use, the map traces remote routes like Sawmill Basin Rd and Dry Valley Rd, which wind through the South Pinto Hills and along the Halfway Bench.
