1998 Map of Lehi

About this map

The Traverse Mountains stand watch over the northern Utah Valley, where the rapid late-century expansion of residential boundaries meets the steep slopes of the Lone Peak Wilderness. This map captures a significant period of suburban growth as the corporate limits of Lehi, American Fork, and Highland push northward into formerly agricultural foothills. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, including the Jordan Canal and Murdock Canal, which supported the area's transition from orchards and fields to modern neighborhoods. Local heritage is preserved in landmarks such as Daughters of the Pioneers Park and the large American Fork Cemetery, while the northern reaches show the early encroachment of development into Corner Canyon and Hog Hollow. Facilities like the Utah State Developmental Center and numerous community schools point to the established institutional roots of these growing Wasatch Front communities.
