About this map

The Jordan River corridor serves as the central spine for this 1990s urban landscape, illustrating the intensive post-war expansion south of Salt Lake City. This period captures the transition of formerly agricultural areas like Granger and Bennion into a dense grid of suburban infrastructure. The map records a significant moment in local history with the presence of the E Center (2002 Olympics Site), marking preparations for the upcoming Winter Games.

Transit networks define the valley floor, from the industrial rail yards at Roper serving the D & R G W RR to the proliferation of regional shopping centers and schools like Granite High Sch and Taylorsville Jr High Sch. Large-scale water management is evident through the Surplus Canal and various settling ponds, while the community character is reflected in established landmarks such as Valley View Mem Park (Cem) and the Utah Army National Guard Murray Armory.
