1925 Map of Ft. Douglas

About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape of this mid-1920s survey, where the rugged peaks of the Wasatch Range meet the early infrastructure of the Salt Lake region. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal and year-round settlements, from the mining hub at Park City and the Pacific Mine to summer retreats like Pinecrest Inn and Mt Air Resort. Transportation is at a crossroads, featuring the Lincoln Highway and Victory Highway winding through the canyons alongside the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. The inclusion of the Ft Douglas Mil Res and the City Farm provides insight into the institutional use of land near the valley floor. Water management is already a priority for the growing population, as seen in the East Canyon Creek Reservoir and the numerous named alpine lakes, including Silver Lake and Lake Mary, which served as both recreational destinations and critical watersheds.
