1952 Map of Saltair NE

About this map

The Great Salt Lake dominates this mid-century survey, capturing a specific moment in the fluctuating water levels of the eastern basin. Recorded at an elevation of 4,200 feet in 1951, the shoreline reveals a vast transition between the open water and extensive salt flats. This particular reach of the lake margin highlights the infrastructure of the era, including a levee and the Salt Lake City Sewage Canal cutting through the marshy lowland near the metropolitan periphery. The map also delineates the Davis and Salt Lake county line, providing a precise reference for those researching land ownership or jurisdictional boundaries along the lake's southeastern edge before significant modern development altered the drainage and coastal profile.
