1963 Map of Salt Lake City North

About this map

Salt Lake City spreads across the valley floor in the early 1960s, framed by the foothills of the Wasatch National Forest to the east and the industrial corridor of the Jordan River to the west. This period captures a landscape defined by significant infrastructure, from the extensive rail yards of the Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western to the growing Salt Lake City International Airport. Urban expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Rose Park and Val Verda, while the northern industrial zone is dominated by an Oil Refinery and the Sky Haven Airfield. Cultural and civic landmarks are prominently noted, including the State Fairgrounds, the City and Co Bldg, and the Pony Express Monument, providing a clear view of the city’s mid-century development and heritage sites like Ensign Pk.
