About this map

Hanksville serves as the focal point for this 2017 survey, situated at the confluence where the Muddy Creek and Fremont River join to form the Dirty Devil River. This convergence defines the local landscape, providing a crucial water source in an otherwise arid environment characterized by the San Rafael Desert and the towering Big Wild Horse Mesa. The settlement layout is captured alongside vital local infrastructure including the Hanksville Airport and the Hanksville Cem.

Evidence of ranching and land use is visible in the network of named tracks such as Doll House Ranch Rd and Gun Range Rd. The terrain is marked by distinctive formations like The Notch and the North Pinto Hills, illustrating the geological complexity of Wayne County. This map preserves the contemporary spatial relationship between the town and its rugged surroundings, from the lowlands of Little Meadow to the higher elevations of Little Antelope Valley.
