1885 Map of Salt Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

The Wasatch Mountains dominate this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance, framing the growing corridor of settlement between the Great Salt Lake and Utah Lake. The map reveals an early industrial landscape where mining and agriculture met, centered on the newly established city grid of Salt Lake City and the military outpost at Fort Douglass. Mountain peaks like Timpanogos Peak and Lone Peak rise above the canyons that provided water and transit routes for the era's emerging towns.
