About this map

Hill Air Force Base dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, anchoring a region undergoing significant post-war expansion. The transportation corridor between the mountains and the Great Salt Lake is clearly defined by the parallel tracks of the Union Pacific and the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads. These lines, alongside Bamberger Road, connect the growing residential footprints of Kaysville, Layton, and Clearfield.

Agricultural heritage remains visible through the complex irrigation network of the Davis-Weber Canal and the presence of the Utah State Experiment Farm. Local civic life is centered around institutions like Davis High School and the Kaysville and Layton Memorial Cemetery. This edition, with purple revisions from the late 1960s, documents the suburban infill transitioning the orchard and farm lands of Fruit Heights and Laytona into a modern residential landscape.
