About this map

Ensign Peak and the high ridges of the Wasatch National Forest overlook the northern reaches of the Salt Lake Valley in this modern topographic study. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Salt Lake City International Airport and the meandering path of the Jordan River, which is paralleled by industrial canals like the Brighton Canal and the Surplus Canal. This intersection of geography and urban development shows the dense residential grids of Bountiful and North Salt Lake pressing against the steep western front of the Wasatch Range.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the inclusion of early religious and pioneer sites. The map specifically identifies the Sessions Settlement Pioneer Cem, Brigham Young Family Memorial Cem, and the Kimball Whitney Cem. These markers, along with educational institutions like the Latter-day Saints Business Coll, reflect the deeply rooted cultural history of Salt Lake City and its surrounding communities.
