1955 Map of Peterson

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The settlement of Peterson sits at the northeastern edge of the Morgan Valley, where the Weber River flows alongside the Union Pacific rail line and the modern Gateway Canal. This mid-century survey illustrates the divide between the agricultural river bottom and the high alpine ridges of the Wasatch National Forest to the west. High-elevation landmarks like Francis Peak and Nielsons Peak overlook a complex network of drainage basins, including the various forks of Dalton Creek and Kays Creek. Along the southern border, Skyline Drive traverses the mountain crest near the Sunset Campground, providing a look at the infrastructure developed for forest access and fire management during this period. Local genealogists may find value in the specific placement of the Peterson Cem and the small residential footprint of Farmington appearing at the quadrangle's southwestern corner.
