1950 Map of Lincoln Point

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Utah Lake dominates this 1950 survey, which captures the southern shoreline and surrounding topography at a recorded elevation of 4487 feet. The landscape is characterized by the prominent rise of West Mountain, where contour lines trace the steep ascent from the water's edge to various benchmarked heights. Along the southwestern slopes of this ridge, an Abandoned Canal provides evidence of earlier attempts to manage water and irrigation in the region. Near the southern shore, Lincoln Point extends into the lake, while the isolated Bird Island sits nearly centered within the water body. To the east of the point, the drainage of Benjamin Slough meets the shoreline, while the northwestern corner of the quadrangle shows the indentation of Little Cove. This survey reflects a mid-century period when rural infrastructure and physical geography defined the boundaries of the Utah Valley.
