About this map

Ben Lomond and Lewis Peak dominate the skyline of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, looming over the developing benchland below. The transition from agricultural use to residential expansion is evident between Harrisville and North Ogden, where the State Agric College Experimental Sta stands near newer neighborhoods. At the base of the mountains, irrigation and water management are critical to the local economy, shown through numerous Artesian Wells and the Canal system feeding the orchards and farms of Pleasant View.

To the south, the industrial and institutional character of Ogden becomes more pronounced. Significant landmarks such as the Utah General Depot, the State Industrial School, and a Brick Factory indicate the city's role as a regional hub for logistics and manufacturing. The eastern portion of the map reveals the steep descent into the Ogden River canyon, featuring the Hermitage and the edge of Pine View Reservoir, highlighting the area's dual identity as a mountain gateway and a productive valley.
