1987 Map of Harts Point North

About this map

Harts Point and Hatch Point dominate this high desert landscape, characterized by dramatic plateaus and winding drainage systems in San Juan County. Compiled from early 1980s aerial photography, this survey documents the isolation of the region through its sparse human interventions. Evidence of exploration and resource extraction is scattered across the terrain, notably at several prospect sites and a Barrow Pit near the northern boundary. The intricate network of canyons and washes is defined by Indian Creek and Harts Draw, which carve deep into the plateau floor. A notable geological feature, the Natural Bridge, is marked in the southeastern corner, serving as a landmark for those navigating by 4wd tracks or trail. The presence of ephemeral water sources like Threemile Creek and Little Water Creek highlights the hydrology of this arid canyon country.
