2020 Map of Hatch Rock

About this map

Hatch Rock serves as the namesake for this high desert landscape in San Juan County, where complex geological formations dictate the routes of modern roads and old trails. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks like Rone Bailey Mesa and the striking Jail Rock, which stand above a network of deep drainages including Wind Whistle Draw and Bobbys Hole Canyon. Historical transport routes are central to the map, with the Mail Station Spu and Mall Station Wash suggesting the region's legacy of frontier communication and travel. The area's limited water sources are carefully marked, such as the Little Rock Reservoir and the seasonal Little Water Cr. Modern access is provided via Needles Overlook Rd and Highway 191, which skirt the edges of deep gulches like Hook and Ladder Gulch.
