1950 Map of Orem
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Geneva Steel Plant dominates the industrial landscape along the eastern shore of Utah Lake, reflecting the massive infrastructure required for mid-century steel production. The map captures a sophisticated irrigation and water management network including the Murdock Canal, the Salt Lake City Aqueduct, and several local ditches like the Union Canal, which fueled the agricultural growth of the Bench area. Settlements like Orem and Pleasant Grove are shown with their early mid-century street grids and essential community hubs, including Lincoln High Sch and Spencer School. The transition from the developed valley floor to the steep slopes of the Wasatch Range is sharp, with landmarks such as Big Baldy and the hydroelectric site at Olmsted marking the wilder eastern boundary of the quadrangle.
