About this map

The Jordan River carves through the Jordan Narrows at the close of the 20th century, a critical geographic pinch point where the Traverse Mountains meet the valley floor. This 1999 revision reveals a landscape heavily shaped by public infrastructure and military use, most notably the sprawling Camp Williams Military Reservation and the Utah State Prison to the north. A complex network of water management features, including the Salt Lake City Aqueduct and Utah and Salt Lake Canal, highlights the region's historical and ongoing reliance on redirected water flow for local development.

Local history and transit routes are preserved through markers like the Rockwell Station Pony Express Historical Marker and the Old Railroad Grade, which trace the evolution of travel through this corridor. The settlement of Bluffdale is well-documented with its Bluffdale Sch and Bluffdale City Cemetery, while newer facilities like the State Public Safety Training Facility and Wetland Park signal the shifting land use near the Salt Lake and Utah County line.
