About this map

Industrial and residential development at the foot of the Oquirrh Mountains characterizes this survey of the western Salt Lake Valley. The legacy of copper processing is central to the landscape, anchored by the Magna Mill and the nearby Magna Post Office. The map captures the transition from the dense residential grids of Magna and Hunter to the more specialized industrial and rail-oriented settlements like Bacchus.

Evidence of the region's historical transport and drainage network is visible through numerous rail sidings including Riter Siding, Kearns Siding, and Cyprus Siding, which served the local industry. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into Coon Canyon and Harkers Canyon, where features like Tabitha Springs and Deadmans Wash drain toward the valley floor. The placement of the Pleasant Green Cemetery on the rising ground of Highland provides a focal point for genealogical interest in this long-established community.
