1963 Map of Hanksville

About this map

The Dirty Devil River forms at the confluence of Muddy Creek and the Fremont River just east of the small settlement of Hanksville. This mid-century survey, conducted in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, highlights the region's transition into an era of aviation and resource exploration. While the town remains a central point of activity with the Hanksville Cem and local schools, the surrounding landscape is marked by the Hanksville Landing Field, a Radio Facility, and the South Hanksville Airport.
