2014 Map of Hatch Rock

About this map

Hatch Rock and the high plateaus of San Juan County dominate this terrain, where the landscape is defined by deep incisions like Hatch Ranch Canyon and Bobbys Hole Canyon. This 2014 survey documents a network of named landmarks and water catchments essential for navigating the high desert, including Little Rock Reservoir and the distinctive The Tank near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The naming conventions throughout the area, such as Soup Rock, Jail Rock, and Rone Bailey Mesa, reflect a history of local identification used by ranchers and early travelers. Transportation is centered on N Highway 191, which provides access to more remote routes like Needles Overlook Rd and Looking Glass Rd, connecting these geological landmarks to the broader regional infrastructure.
