About this map

Hanksville serves as a vital desert hub at the southern edge of this landscape, situated where the Fremont River and Muddy Creek converge to form the Dirty Devil River. The map documents a rugged junction of water and stone, showing the town's essential infrastructure including the Hanksville Airport and the Hanksville Cem. A complex network of local roads like E Hanksville Cemetery Rd and River Bend Rd fan out from the settlement to reach into the surrounding terrain.

To the north and east, the San Rafael Desert and Little Antelope Valley dominate the topography, punctuated by distinctive formations such as The Notch and Big Wild Horse Mesa. The cartography reveals the drainage patterns of Blackburn Draw and Dry Valley Wash, which carve through the North Pinto Hills. This survey provides a detailed view of the remote ranching and transit corridors of Wayne Co during the early 21st century.
