This uncommon map shows the progress and growth in the area around the Great Salt Lake. Published by the U.S. Forestry Commission in 1899, it was "Compiled from the Surveys of Capt. Howard Stansbury in 1849, Capt. C.E. Dutton in 1879 and Other Private and Public Surveys by C. Mostyn-Owen. C.E. May 25, 1891." It is filled with information on towns and settlements, railroads, watershed, and topography via hachure. We find no references or catalog listings for this map.
