1948 Map of Orem
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The massive Geneva Steel Plant dominates the western shoreline of Utah Lake, marking a period of intense industrial activity along the Provo Bench. This postwar landscape is defined by the intersection of heavy industry and established agricultural communities, with the Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads providing the essential transport arteries. Settlement patterns show the growth of Orem and Pleasant Grove, supported by an intricate network of irrigation including the Murdock Canal, Timpanogos Canal, and Provo Canal.
