About this map

American Fork and Lehi serve as the primary anchors of this landscape during a period of notable growth along the northern shores of Utah Lake. The map illustrates a complex water management system essential to this valley, featuring the Salt Lake City Aqueduct, Bull River Canal, and Harmon Ditch alongside natural features like Mill Pond and Dry Creek. The transition from the developed valley floor to the steep elevations of the Wasatch Range is marked by the Uinta National Forest boundary and numerous canyons like Corner Canyon and Box Elder Canyon.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, including Lehi Cem, American Fork Cemetery, and Pioneer Mem Cem. The industrial and agricultural infrastructure of the era is evident through numerous labeled Gravel Pits and the presence of the Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads. Smaller community centers are preserved here through labels for Manila, Alpine, and local landmarks like Highland Church and Schoolhouse Springs.
