2011 Map of Draper

About this map

Cottonwood Heights, Sandy City, and Draper occupy a landscape where the dense residential expansion of the Salt Lake Valley meets the steep rise of the Wasatch Range. The 2011 topography reveals a highly developed suburban grid interrupted by significant genealogical landmarks, including the historic Union Fort Pioneer Cemetery and the Larkin Sunset Gardens. To the east, the map detail shifts abruptly from street networks to the wilderness of the national forest, marked by deep incisions like Ferguson Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon. Of particular note is the Latter Day Saints Church Records Storage Area situated near Granite Spring, reflecting the specific cultural infrastructure of the region. The drainage patterns of Big Cottonwood Creek and Willow Creek are clearly traced as they emerge from the mountains to navigate the valley floor, while features like Lower Bells Canyon Reservoir and Mellen Sand Spur illustrate the ongoing management of water and mineral resources in this mountain-fringe environment.
