1952 Map of Saltair NE

About this map

The expansive Great Salt Lake dominates this mid-century survey, shown at an elevation of 4200 feet as recorded in the early 1950s. This specific quadrant highlights the desolate interface between the water and the surrounding Salt Flat, a landscape defined by shifting shorelines and industrial utility. Along the southeastern edge, the Salt Lake City Sewage Canal cuts through the marshy terrain, protected in part by a constructed Levee. The map documents the Davis and Salt Lake county boundary as it strikes across the open water and mineral crusts. This edition reflects the environment before major modern infrastructure altered the eastern shore, providing a clear record of the natural and early man-made features that shaped the approach to the lake during this era.
