1950 Map of Goshen Valley North

About this map

Utah Lake dominates the eastern edge of this 1950 survey, where the shoreline meets the expansive flats of the Goshen Valley. The landscape is defined by the transition from the water's edge to the rising terrain toward Coyote Pass in the northwest. This map captures a moment when local water management was in flux, evidenced by the presence of an Abandoned Canal cutting across the valley floor. The western margins of Genola Town Boundary appear along the lake, showing the early spatial limits of the settlement relative to the shoreline and the Salt Lake Meridian. Scattered infrastructure, including several Well sites and a Pump, indicates the ongoing reliance on groundwater to support the agricultural potential of this arid valley before more modern irrigation systems were fully realized. The seasonal drainage of Pinyon Creek enters from the south, illustrating the natural watercourses that shaped the valley’s topography.
