1963 Map of Fort Douglas

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Fort Douglas and the University of Utah define the transition from the grid of Salt Lake City to the steep draws of the Wasatch National Forest. The 1960s footprint shows significant institutional expansion, including University Village and the Veterans Hospital, while the surrounding mountainsides are marked by the industrial and recreational legacy of the region. Notable landmarks include the City Cemetery and Mt Olivet Cemetery, alongside numerous neighborhood schools like Judge Mem High Sch and East H S. Above the residential blocks, the landscape turns to rugged canyons and gulches, such as Cephalopod Gulch and Limekiln Gulch, which underscore the geological character of the range. Small-scale mining operations like the Treasure Box Mine and Burro Mine are scattered near the Sessions Mountains, while water management is evidenced by the Red Butte Reservoir and the municipal Filtration Plant along City Creek.
