About this map

Snow Basin and the high ridges of the Cache National Forest dominate this landscape during a period of significant preparation for the 2002 Winter Games. The map identifies the Snowbasin Ski Area as a primary venue, with notable peaks such as Mt Ogden Bowl, Strawberry Peak, and The Needles surrounding the alpine basin. In the lower elevations to the south, the settlement of Mountain Green sits near the Weber River, where modern infrastructure like the County Airport and various utilities support the growing community.

Industrial and historical layers are visible through features like the Strawberry Mine and several gravel pits, alongside water management systems including the Northwest Reservoir and various siphons and aqueducts. The southern edge is defined by the narrow corridor of Devils Gate, a natural chokepoint through which the Weber River and Gateway road pass. This survey illustrates the intersection of mid-century topographic data and late-1990s facility developments.
