About this map

The high peaks of the Wasatch Range dominate this mid-century survey, showing the steep ascent from the valley floor settlements of Bountiful and Centerville up to the crest of the Sessions Mountains. In the lower elevations, the suburban expansion of the 1960s and 70s is captured in purple revisions, contrasting with the established grid and institutional anchors like Bountiful High School.

A network of drainage systems, including Ward Creek, Holbrook Creek, and Parrish Creek, carves deep canyons through the Wasatch National Forest. Higher up, the landscape transitions to resource management and recreation, marked by the Farmington Guard Station and specialized facilities like the Parrish Creek Research Center. The iconic Skyline Drive traverses the ridges, providing access to Bountiful Peak and the high-elevation Farmington Lake, while a lone Prospect on the southern slopes hints at the mineral exploration common to this portion of the range.
