1961 Map of Devils Slide

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Industrial development and historic migration paths converge along the Weber River in this 1961 record of the Morgan and Summit County line. The unique limestone formation known as Devils Slide dominates the central canyon, flanked by a massive Cement Plant and several Quarry operations that define the local economy. To the south, the village of Henefer sits at a critical junction of the Union Pacific railroad and the historic Donner Reed Party Route, tracing the path of early emigrants through the Henefer Valley. Settlement patterns follow the narrow corridor of the river and rail, with Croydon and Taggarts tucked between steep terrain like Folley Ridge and Bolly Knob. The map also details numerous family-named landmarks and canyons, including Norwood Canyon and Stephens Canyon, which offer clues to the early ranching and homesteading history of this corner of the Wasatch Range.
