1980 Map of Salt Lake City

About this map

The Wasatch Range dominates this 1980 survey, illustrating the sharp contrast between the dense urban sprawl of Salt Lake City and the mountainous terrain to the east. The map documents the extensive transportation network of the era, from the major corridors of I-15 and I-80 to the historic rail lines of the Union Pacific and the Denver & Rio Grande Western. This edition captures the valley's post-war expansion, showing established suburban communities like Holladay, Murray, and Granger as they appeared before the massive growth of the late 20th century.
