1985 Map of Hatch Trading Post

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Hatch Trading Post serves as a lone commercial focal point in this high desert landscape of southeastern Utah during the mid-1980s. The terrain is defined by a complex system of drainages and mesas, where the Navajo Indian Reservation meets the rugged breaks of the San Juan County plateau. The map details a labyrinth of seasonal watercourses including Montezuma Creek and Cross Canyon, which cut deep paths through elevations like Tin Cup Mesa and Cajon Mesa. Smaller family-named landmarks such as Johnny Benal Canyon and Nancy Canyon suggest the enduring local presence of ranching and indigenous heritage in this arid region. Industrial activity is sparse, marked only by an occasional Prospect or Gravel Pit, while the vastness of Bug Park and Alkali Point illustrates the expansive, open character of the Four Corners backcountry before modern development intensified.
