1950 Map of Fort Douglas

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Fort Douglas and the eastern edge of Salt Lake City dominate the lower half of this mid-century landscape, where urban development meets the steep slopes of the Wasatch National Forest. The map documents a significant concentration of civic and social institutions at the mountain's base, including the University of Utah, the Veterans Hospital, and the sprawling City Cemetery. The northern portion remains largely undeveloped, defined by deep drainage systems like City Creek and Mill Creek that cut through the Sessions Mountains.
