About this map

Farmington and Bountiful anchor this mid-century portrait of the Wasatch Front, where the residential corridors of Centerville and West Bountiful are tightly compressed between the steep slopes of the Wasatch National Forest and the vast Salt Flat of the Great Salt Lake. The map reveals a complex infrastructure of water management and transportation, including the Farmington Bay Bird Refuge protected by an extensive network of Levees.

Three distinct rail lines—the Union Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande Western, and the Bamberger—run parallel through the valley, highlighting the area's role as a transit hub. Local landmarks such as the Lagoon amusement area, the Stoker Sch, and the Burnham Gun Club provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of Davis County before modern suburban expansion transformed these early agricultural and industrial footprints.
