About this map

The industrial and residential growth of the Salt Lake Valley is clearly visible in this survey, particularly where the Oquirrh Mountains meet the valley floor. Dominating the northwest corner is the massive Magna Mill and its adjacent Tailings Pond, marking the significant mineral processing history of Magna. The map reveals a transition from these industrial zones and the canyons like Coon Canyon to the suburban expansion of Hunter and West Valley City.

A notable landmark of contemporary history is the Utah Olympic Oval, designated for the upcoming 2002 Winter Olympics. The map also documents local heritage through numerous neighborhood institutions, such as Pleasant Green Cem and a dense network of schools like Thomas W Bacchus Sch. These features, alongside the Old Railroad Grade and Riter Canal, illustrate the layered infrastructure required to support this rapidly evolving urban edge.
