1955 Map of North Ogden

About this map

The Cache National Forest dominates the eastern terrain of this Utah quadrangle, where the steep slopes of Ben Lomond and Lewis Peak overlook the rapid post-war expansion of the Wasatch Front. This 1955 survey, updated through the mid-1970s, captures the evolving footprint of North Ogden and Pleasant View. The transition from agrarian land use to suburban development is evident in the presence of the State Agric College Experimental Sta alongside newer residential extensions. Institutional history is anchored by the State Industrial School and the State Hosp in the southern sector near Ogden. Industrial and utility infrastructure, such as the Union Pacific rail lines and various Artesian Wells, support the growing valley settlements. To the north, the landscape remains more defined by its geography, featuring Long Bench and the narrow corridors of Coldwater Canyon and Ogden Canyon.
