1950 Map of Pelican Point

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Utah Lake dominates the central portion of this 1950s survey, showing the western shoreline as it appeared before mid-century development. The northern edge features the expanding settlement of American Fork and the rail junction at Wing, where the Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads converge. These rail lines illustrate the critical industrial corridor linking the lake's eastern shore to the Salt Lake Valley. Along the rugged western bank, the landscape is defined by distinct landmarks like Pelican Point and Jumbers Pt, with signs of local industry found at the Calcite Quarry and a lakefront Pumping Sta. The presence of the Utah Lake Dist Canal further north highlights the early water management systems that supported the region's agricultural and industrial growth during this period of Utah's history.
