1998 Map of Sugar House

About this map

Salt Lake Valley urbanization meets the steep rise of the Wasatch Front in this late-twentieth-century revision. The map documents the dense suburban infill of eastern Salt Lake City and Murray, characterized by an extensive network of neighborhood schools like Highland High Sch and Granite High Sch, alongside landmark institutions such as Westminster College. The residential blocks of Sugar House and Holladay are defined by the passage of mountain waters including Parleys Creek and Big Cottonwood Creek, which flow toward the Jordan River. Genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the multiple interment sites, including Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park and Elysian Burial Gardens. To the east, the Wasatch National Forest boundary marks a sharp transition from the city grid to the high peaks of Grandeur Peak and Mt Olympus, where canyons like Mill Creek Canyon and Neffs Canyon incise the wilderness.
