About this map

Hill Air Force Base and the Utah General Depot dominate the eastern landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in the region. The transition from rural agriculture to post-war suburbanization is evident in the expanding residential grids of Roy, Sunset, and Clinton. These communities are bound together by a complex network of transportation and water management, including the Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads, alongside vital irrigation arteries like the Davis-Weber Canal and Hooper Canal.

Westward, the terrain shifts toward the wetlands and sloughs of the Weber River system. Local landmarks such as the Pothole Duck Club and various gravel pits highlight the varied land use, while smaller settlements like Kanesville and Kingsville Junction reflect the older, rail-oriented settlement patterns. The map also documents educational and civic infrastructure through the Lakeview School and Clinton Cemetery, providing essential data for those studying the social evolution of this corridor.
