About this map

The Oquirrh Mountains form a dramatic backdrop to the industrial and suburban landscape of Salt Lake County in this 2014 survey. The western half of the map is dominated by large-scale land management, including the Kennecott Tailings Pond Number One and the mining-related settlement of Bacchus. In the foothills, deep cuts like Coon Canyon and Limekiln Canyon descend toward the valley floor, where the older settlement of Magna sits near the Pleasant Green Cem.

To the east, the rapid urbanization of West Valley City, Kearns, and West Jordan is evident in the dense residential street grids. This transition from the industrial infrastructure of the Kersey Canal and Riter Siding to sprawling neighborhoods illustrates the region's mid-20th-century evolution into a primary residential hub for the Salt Lake valley. The map also traces essential water routes like the N Jordan Canal and the natural flow of Lee Cr.
