About this map

Alpine and Highland occupy the lower western reaches of this survey, where the valley meets the sharp rise of the Wasatch Range. This modern topographic study illustrates the transition from suburban development to the protected landscapes of the Lone Peak Wilderness and Mount Timpanogos Wilderness. The rugged geography is defined by significant water management and recreational infrastructure, including the Salt Lake City Aqueduct and the Murdock Canal running along the mountain base.

American Fork Canyon serves as a primary corridor through the Uinta National Forest, leading to the Timpanogos Cave National Monument. High-altitude features like Emerald Lake and the Timpanogos Basin are depicted alongside peaks such as Box Elder Peak and Mt Timpanogos. The map also captures critical water storage at Tibble Fork Reservoir and the Silver Lake Flat Reservoir, essential to the region's hydrography and irrigation networks.
