1952 Map of Farmington

About this map

The eastern shores of the Great Salt Lake define this Davis County landscape, where the vast Mud Flat meets a corridor of burgeoning settlements. This survey shows the transition from the marshy environments of the Farmington Bird Refuge to the established neighborhoods of Farmington, Centerville, and Bountiful. A complex transportation network, including the Union Pacific Railroad and the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, runs parallel to the Wasatch Range foothills, facilitating the growth of industrial and recreational sites like the Lagoon amusement area. The map captures a moment of suburban expansion, noting local landmarks such as South Davis High School and the Stoker School, alongside older rural features like the Burnham Gun Club situated near the Old River Channel.
