1950 Map of Goshen Valley North

About this map

Utah Lake defines the eastern edge of this landscape, its shoreline captured here during mid-century surveys that recorded a water elevation of 4487 feet in September 1949. The map details the transition from the lake's edge into the agricultural and desert terrain of Goshen Valley, where drainage and irrigation patterns are central to the land's utility. Of particular interest to local historians is the Abandoned Canal winding through the western hills near Coyote Pass, tracing a defunct water route that once supported earlier settlement efforts. To the southeast, the Genola Town Boundary and the Salt Lake Meridian establish the formal survey lines of the region. From the seasonal flow of Pinyon Creek to the presence of a lone Pump and a small Reservoir, the map documents the persistent human effort to manage water in this arid Utah environment.
