Salt Lake City is exceptionally well depicted. American Fork is called "Lake City." Locates the Emigrant Road to California. Several "Proposed Railroad" lines are illustrated. One traverses the Green near Black's Fork, continues past Fort Bridger (Wyoming) and on to Weber River to Ogden City where it turns south. Another line leaves the Wasatch Mountains via Timpanogas Canyon and another heads west from the Oquirrh Mountains.
