1997 Map of Devils Slide

About this map

Henefer Valley serves as a focal point for this late-1990s topographical study, where the Weber River carves through the transition between Round Valley and the Upper Weber Canyon. The landscape is a mix of agricultural settlement and heavy industry, most notably at the cement plant near Croydon. Transportation history is layered throughout the corridor, from the modern infrastructure around Taggarts to the historic route of the Mormon Pioneers trailing along the river's path. Local community life in Henefer is detailed through landmarks like the Rodeo Ground, Flume Park, and the local cemetery. Higher elevations are defined by the prominent Folley Ridge and a network of deep drainages such as Cottonwood Canyon and Oak Spring Canyon, many of which show evidence of resource extraction via various labeled quarries.
