About this map

The city of Provo serves as a dense educational and institutional hub in this mid-century survey, anchored by the dual campuses of Brigham Young University (Upper Campus) and Brigham Young University (Lower Campus). The urban grid is heavily defined by civic and medical infrastructure, from the Courthouse and City Cemetery to the sprawling grounds of the State Mental Hospital at the base of the mountains. Transportation networks dominate the valley floor, where the Denver & Rio Grande Western and Union Pacific railroads parallel the shoreline of Utah Lake.
