The Jordan River corridor serves as the industrial and agricultural spine of this 1950s Salt Lake Valley landscape. Industrial activity is concentrated near Midvale, where a smelter and the Sugar Factory sit alongside an extensive network of irrigation canals, including the East Jordan Canal and Utah and Salt Lake Canal. This era captures the valley before major suburbanization, characterized by distinct towns like West Jordan, Sandy, and South Jordan separated by open agricultural lands and gravel pits.
