1951 Map of Salt Lake City North

About this map

Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Mountains foothills meet in this mid-century portrait of Utah's capital. The map captures a transition era where industry and infrastructure dominate the lowlands, featuring the Municipal Airport No 1 and an extensive network of waterways including the Jordan River, Surplus Canal, and Sewage Canal. The city's core is meticulously detailed, showing the State Capitol, City and Co Bldg, and numerous schools such as West HS and Rowland Hall Sch. North of the city center, the landscape shifts toward the refineries and stockyards of North Salt Lake and the agricultural fringes of Woods Cross and Bountiful. This survey also documents the presence of the Bamberger Railroad and Union Pacific lines, alongside landmarks like Becks Hot Springs and the State Fairgrounds, providing a comprehensive look at the region's mid-twentieth-century development.
