1963 Map of Sugar House

About this map

Sugar House and the southeastern reaches of Salt Lake City are captured here during a period of significant suburban expansion toward the Wasatch range. The map documents the established academic environment of Westminster College and the industrial footprint of the Brick Kilns near Sugar House Park. As residential development pushed east into East Millcreek and Holladay, the landscape transitioned from the urban grid to the winding roads of the foothills. This era is marked by the emergence of major retail hubs like the Cottonwood Mall Shopping Center and Victoria Park Shopping Center, which began to define the modern commercial character of the area. Along the eastern edge, the protected slopes of the Wasatch National Forest rise sharply, with landmarks like Grandeur Peak and Mt Olympus overlooking the growing valley settlements.
