1954 Map of Brigham City

About this map

Brigham City and the surrounding agricultural and industrial corridor along the Bear River anchor this mid-century portrait of northern Utah. The map captures the vital transportation and conservation networks that define the region, from the northern reach of the Great Salt Lake to the slopes of the Raft River Mountains and Goose Creek Mountains. Notable for its historical significance, the Golden Spike National Historic Site is located near the Blue Creek Valley, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad. The industrial landscape is further shaped by the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads, including the celebrated Lucin Cutoff which traverses the Great Salt Lake Desert.
