1955 Map of Brigham City

About this map

Brigham City serves as the focal point of this mid-1950s survey, showing a structured grid of schools like Box Elder High Sch and Lincoln Sch alongside the Courthouse and Armory. The landscape transitions sharply from the developed streets of the county seat to the rugged slopes of the Cache National Forest, where numerous drainages like Cataract Canyon and Antimony Canyon carve into the mountainside. To the west, the Bear River meanders through a complex network of wetlands and sloughs, including The Horseshoe and Black Slough, while the sprawling Salt Flat and North Lake dominate the central basin. This era captures the vital transportation corridor of the Union Pacific railroad as it connects Corinne and Honeyville, bypassing the industrial Cement Ponds and the Brigham City Airport. Insight into local heritage is found at the Historical Monument near Calls Fort, marking the early pioneer presence in this diverse valley environment.
