1963 Map of Salt Lake City South

About this map

Salt Lake City expansion defines the mid-century landscape of the Jordan Valley, where suburban growth in Granger and Kearns begins to fill the space between established irrigation corridors. The complex water network, including the Surplus Canal, Brighton Canal, and the Jordan River, supports a transition from open agricultural land to dense residential blocks. The industrial backbone of the valley is clearly visible through the extensive rail yards at Roper, where the Denver And Rio Grande Western and Union Pacific lines converge.
