About this map

Farmington and Bountiful anchor this detailed study of the Davis County shoreline during the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the Wasatch National Forest to the east and the expansive Salt Flat and Great Salt Lake to the west. A complex transportation corridor is visible, featuring three distinct rail lines—the Union Pacific Railroad, the Bamberger Railroad, and the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad—running parallel through the narrow habitable strip between the mountains and the water.

Local landmarks such as the Lagoon amusement park and the Farmington Bird Refuge indicate the area's dual role as a recreation and conservation hub. The map captures the agricultural and residential fringes of Centerville and West Bountiful before the era of intensive suburbanization, showing individual structures, schools like Stoker Sch, and the Jordan River winding toward the Farmington Bay dikes.
