It includes election district and precinct maps for Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County; various subdivision plats; surveys of property used as exhibits in civil cases; maps for railroad, roads, and bridges; street plans; water district and water system maps; pipelines; the Alta-Little Cottonwood mining district; city maps of Salt Lake City, Murray, Sandy, Magna, and Kearns; 1854-1856 surveys of the church farm; an 1850 History of the Utah Lake Reservoir Controversy; and other miscellaneous maps and drawings.

Arrangement: Aperture cards are arranged numerically by two sets of numbers. The first set, beginning with the letter C and followed by a dash and a number, describes the location as follows:

C-18 Salt Lake County

C-18.2 Midvale

C-18.3 Murray

C-18.5 Salt Lake City

C-18.6 Sandy

C-18.11 Granger

C-18.14 Magna

C-18.15 Kearns

The cards are then grouped by a second unknown classification number within their particular city.

The container list, linked below, lists the map title, the agency that created the map, and the date. Maps are listed in broad categories. This is not a complete item-by-item list.
