1955 Map of Roy

About this map

Hill Air Force Base and the Utah General Depot anchor the eastern landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in the region during the 1950s. The burgeoning residential developments of Roy and Sunset sit adjacent to these installations, while the western reaches remain primarily agricultural, defined by an intricate network of irrigation including the West Weber Canal and Flinders Ditch. This geography reveals a period of transition as suburban growth begins to encroach on rural settlements like Kanesville and Taylor.
