About this map

Sugar House serves as a historic urban hub where the developed streets of the Salt Lake Valley meet the rising slopes of the Wasatch Range. This 2014 record shows a mature suburban and commercial landscape, including Westminster Coll and the Wheeler Historic Farm, illustrating the transition from early agricultural roots to modern educational and residential sectors. The eastern edge of the map is dominated by the steep, dramatic topography of the Wasatch National Forest, where canyons such as Emigration Canyon and Parleys Canyon provide natural corridors into the mountains.

Cemeteries and parks are prominent throughout the valley floor, with Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park and the Hogle Zoological Gardens acting as major local landmarks. The grid system is punctuated by watercourses like Big Cottonwood Cr and Mill Cr, which historically dictated the settlement patterns of Holladay and Murray. This layout provides a clear view of how public infrastructure and natural drainage have shaped the growth of the Salt Lake City metro area.
