1980 Map of Hanksville

About this map

Hanksville stands at the junction of Utah 24 and the Fremont River during the late 1970s and early 1980s, serving as a gateway to the high-desert landscapes of south-central Utah. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural valley of the Fremont into the expansive San Rafael Desert and the high elevations of the Henry Mountains. The region's geography is defined by deep erosion, from the meandering Dirty Devil River to the complex formations of The Maze and the Orange Cliffs.
