1885 Map of Salt Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1885

About this map

Salt Lake City and the expanding settlements of the Wasatch Mountains anchor this late-nineteenth-century survey. The landscape reflects an era of intense mineral extraction and transport development, visible in the high-elevation mining hubs of Alta and Silver City, and the industrial connection at Coalville. Early railroad networks, including the Denver and Rio Grande Western R. R. and the U. P. R. R., trace the valleys and canyons, linking agricultural centers like Provo and Heber to the capital.
