1961 Map of Morgan

About this map

The Weber River valley dominates this early 1960s landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the Union Pacific railroad and the region's agricultural infrastructure. The town of Morgan functions as a central hub, flanked by smaller communities like Milton, Littleton, and Richville. Industrial activity is evident along the riverbanks, particularly at the Cement Plant near the geologic landmark of Devils Slide. Water management for the valley's farms is documented through the Stoddard Canal and Stoddard Diversion Dam. Away from the river, the terrain rises into the Wasatch National Forest, where high peaks such as Durst Mtn and Big Mahogany Mtn overlook numerous canyons. To the north, a Monastery sits in the quiet foothills of Ogden Valley, while recreational and community landmarks like Como Springs and the County Fairgrounds highlight the social geography of the era.
