About this map

Utah Lake borders the eastern edge of this western Utah County landscape, where the rising slopes of the Lake Mountains dominate the terrain. The area is defined by a series of steep drainages including Mercer Canyon, Ivans Canyon, and Wildcat Canyon to the north, while the southern reaches are marked by prominent heights like White Knoll, Black Point, and Cat Hill. This 2017 survey details the intersection of early 20th-century agricultural ambition and modern infrastructure.

Mosida, once a site of a significant irrigation-based farming project on the southwestern shore of the lake, remains a key point of historical interest alongside Gorder. The map traces the essential transportation arteries of the region, including Redwood Rd and W Lake Rd, which navigate the space between the high ridges of Miners Ridge and the shoreline. Landmarks such as Soldiers Pass and Iron Hill provide important geographic context for those studying the land use and topography of this transition zone between the mountains and the water.
