About this map

Salt Lake City and its northern suburbs are captured here at a pivotal moment of preparation for the global stage. This 1998 revision highlights the Salt Palace Convention Ctr (2002 Olympics Site), marking the city's transformation as it readied for the Winter Games. The urban landscape is anchored by the State Capitol and the Cathedral of the Madeleine, while the western edge is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of the Salt Lake City International Airport.

Industry and nature meet along the Jordan River, where several sewage disposal plants and a large Oil Refinery operate near the preserved wetlands of the Waterfowl Management Area in Farmington Bay. To the east, the steep rise of the Wasatch National Forest provides a sharp vertical boundary to the valley's development, featuring landmarks like Ensign Peak and Meridian Peak overlooking the grid of the city and its residential expansions in North Salt Lake and Woods Cross.
