About this map

Bountiful and Centerville sit at the western base of the Wasatch Range during a period of mid-century residential expansion. This 1952 field-checked survey highlights the interface between the growing valley settlements and the steep mountainous terrain of the Wasatch National Forest. Notable landmarks include the Bountiful High School and the small settlement of Stone, while the high country is defined by the winding route of Skyline Drive and the prominent Bountiful Peak.

A network of drainage canyons, including Ford Canyon and Holbrook Creek, carves through the landscape toward the Great Salt Lake valley. The map documents specialized land management through the Farmington Creek Research Center and the Farmington Guard Station, reflecting the era's focus on watershed and forest research. The rugged eastern slopes towards the Morgan County line remain largely dominated by topographical features like The Hogsback and Gold Ridge.
