1998 Map of Fort Douglas

About this map

Fort Douglas and the adjacent University of Utah campus anchor this detailed survey of the eastern edge of Salt Lake City, where urban development meets the steep ascent of the Wasatch Mountain range. The map captures a specific moment of transformation as the area prepared for the 2002 Winter Olympics, designating the Olympic Village and Rice-Eccles Stadium. To the east, the landscape transitions into the protected Wasatch National Forest and the Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area, a preserved watershed nearly untouched by the surrounding city growth. For those tracing local history, the sheet identifies numerous educational and religious landmarks, including Judge Memorial High Sch and St Olaf Sch, alongside the sprawling grounds of the City Cemetery and Mt Olivet Cemetery.
