About this map

Midvale and the surrounding Salt Lake Valley appear here as a dense corridor of suburban growth and historical transit routes. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, including the Utah and Salt Lake Canal, Welby-Jacob Canal, and Provo Reservoir Canal, which once served the agricultural needs of the valley. These waterways run parallel to modern developments and established settlements like West Jordan, South Jordan, and Riverton. The infrastructure of the area is further evidenced by the Bingham Junction RR and the South Valley Regional Airport in the northwest.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous local burial grounds, including the Midvale City Cem, Wights Fort Cem, and Lake Hills Memorial Estates. The map also highlights several higher education facilities such as Broadview University-West Jordan and Neumont University, signaling the area's role as a regional hub for health sciences and technology. The southern edge of the sheet includes the Utah National Guard facility near Draper, while Midas Creek and Bingham Creek provide a natural counterpoint to the gridded street system.
