The Lake Mountains dominate the western landscape of this 2017 survey, where the rapid residential expansion of Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain meets the natural barrier of the peaks. Along the northwestern shores of Utah Lake, the map documents a complex network of water management infrastructure, including the Provo Reservoir Canal, Gardner Canal, and Utah-Lake Distributing Canal. This irrigation system reflects the long-standing agricultural history of the Salt Lake Valley even as traditional ranching areas like Glenmar Ranch Airport are surrounded by new suburban developments. Numerous drainages such as Israel Canyon, Lott Canyon, and Mercer Canyon cut through the rugged slopes, while the Jordan River flows northward from the lake toward Lehi. The survey captures the significant transformation of the region as the corridor between the mountains and the lake becomes increasingly urbanized.
