1952 Map of Bountiful Peak

About this map

Bountiful and Centerville sit at the foot of the Wasatch Range during a period of significant mid-century growth along the mountain front. This 1952 survey, with revisions from 1969, illustrates the expansion of residential blocks toward the steep eastern slopes where numerous drainage systems like Parrish Creek and Holbrook Creek emerge from deep canyons. The landscape is a mix of developing suburban centers and specialized mountain management, evidenced by the presence of the Farmington Research Center and Parrish Creek Research Center. Higher elevations are defined by recreational and administrative infrastructure, including Skyline Drive traversing the ridge near Bountiful Peak and the Farmington Guard Station. The map captures the interface between the dense grid of the Bountiful city boundary and the protected lands of the Wasatch National Forest.
