About this map

Saratoga Springs and the northwestern shores of Utah Lake define this mid-century landscape at the base of the Lake Mountains. The map documents a critical water management network where the Jordan River exits the lake, supported by the Murdock Pumping Sta, the Gardner Canal, and the Provo Reservoir Canal. These engineered waterways reflect the agricultural and residential development occurring between the lake and the steep canyons of the western range.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running near Tickville and the Clay Pits near Landrock. The presence of Hot Springs near the lake's edge highlights the geothermal activity that gave the area its name. Genealogists and researchers can trace the varied terrain from the flats of Cedar Valley through the numerous family-named drainages like Israel Canyon and Clark Canyon, providing a clear view of the region's topography before more modern urbanization.
