1991 Map of Clearfield

About this map

The eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake defines this landscape, where the transition from mudflats and marshes to high-intensity industrial and military development is remarkably abrupt. Hill Air Force Base and the massive industrial complex of Freeport Center dominate the northeast, signifying the area's mid-century economic transformation. Between these hubs and the water, the grid of Syracuse, West Point, and Clearfield reveals a community shaped by massive water-management infrastructure, including the Hooper Aqueduct, Layton Canal, and Davis-Weber Canal. Toward the shoreline, the West Layton Marshes and West Kaysville Marshes provide a stark contrast to the rail-heavy corridors of the Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads. Local history is anchored by sites like the West Point Cemetery and several neighborhood schools, reflecting the steady growth of Davis County before the turn of the millennium.
