2020 Map of Draper

About this map

Draper and Sandy sit at the foot of the Wasatch Range in this detailed survey of the southeastern Salt Lake Valley. The map documents a landscape defined by the intersection of residential expansion and significant mountain geography, where suburban developments like White City and Cottonwood Heights meet the steep canyons of the Wasatch National Forest. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are recorded, including the Union Fort Pioneer Cem and Granite City Cem. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Draper Canal, Salt Lake Aqueduct, and numerous mountain drainages such as Bells Canyon and Dry Gulch. High-elevation landmarks like Lone Peak and the alpine basins of First Hamongog and Second Hamongog dominate the eastern half of the sheet, providing a clear view of the interface between the urban valley and the high wilderness.
