About this map

Ogden Bay Refuge dominates this mid-century landscape along the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake, where the waters of the Weber River system meet the salt flats. The map details a complex network of man-made levees and canals designed to manage the flow of the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork Weber River into the refuge. This water management system is central to the area's geography, supporting the Ogden Bay Refuge Hdqrs and surrounding marshlands.

Agricultural and small-scale settlements like Hooper, West Warren, and Warren are established on the higher ground to the east, crisscrossed by irrigation features like the Flinders South Ditch. Further south, the landscape reveals local landmarks such as Hooper Hot Springs and the Hales Bend (Site), along with numerous artesian wells. The Southern Pacific railroad tracks provide a northern boundary near the prominent silhouette of Little Mountain.
