About this map

The eastern shore of Utah Lake meets the foothills of the Wasatch Range in this survey of the burgeoning urban corridor between Pleasant Grove and Provo. A sophisticated network of irrigation and water management is evident through the winding paths of the Murdock Canal, Union Canal, and Lake Bottom Canal, which historically supported the agriculture of the Provo Bench. By this time, the landscape shows significant institutional and suburban growth, centered around major campuses like Utah Valley University and Brigham Young University.

The dramatic transition from the valley floor to the high peaks is marked by the presence of Mt Timpanogos and Big Baldy within the Uinta National Forest. Residential expansion is visible in neighborhoods like Vineyard and The Village Green, while local history is preserved in sites such as the Pleasant Grove City Cemetery and the Provo Temple. The infrastructure of I-15 and Geneva Road highlights the area's role as a primary transportation hub for the region.
