Multiple Utah municipalities and federal agencies utilize specialized digital mapping tools to provide residents with access to essential information, including zoning regulations, public art locations, and utility service areas. These interactive platforms integrate data from various government entities to assist with community navigation and resource management.
Logan Public Art Features
In Logan, the City Public Art Map provides details on various community installations. One featured mural, titled Strength of the Bear, Spirit of the Shoshone by artist Cole Eisenhour, is located on the north side of Rage Salon at 260 N Main Street. This piece, which was funded through a public/private partnership, depicts the grizzly bear Old Ephraim and figures from the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, including Chief Sagwitch Timbimboo and historian Mae Timbimboo Parry.
Library Plaza Sculptures
Logan's library plaza also hosts several notable sculptures. Gary Lee Price's bronze work, The Thinker & Great Expectations, is located at 285 N Main Street and was funded through a public/private partnership. Additionally, Jason Manley's cast-aluminum sculpture, Cavern, is situated at the Logan Library. Manley described the piece as an experimental interpretation of concrete poetry, designed to symbolize the experience of being immersed in reading.
Ogden River Stewardship
The City of Ogden offers an interactive Adopt-a-River map to facilitate community volunteerism. Through this platform, residents can select a river segment to adopt, committing to a minimum of six visits per year to clear brush, remove trash, and manage noxious weeds. The program requires volunteers to sign a waiver and release of liability and provides guidelines for safely handling potential hazards like broken glass or rusted metal.
Salt Lake City Infrastructure
Salt Lake City utilizes digital mapping to define public utility service areas and street typologies. The Salt Lake City Public Utilities map identifies service areas for water, sewer, storm, and street lighting. Additionally, the city maintains a street typology guide that assigns designs to more than 7,000 miles of public streets, based on transit and pedestrian master plans refined through public feedback between 2019 and 2021.
Regional Municipal Mapping
Other municipal mapping tools provide specific localized data for residents. Highland City maintains a zoning map for its jurisdiction, while Tremonton City provides digital access to its zoning information. In Payson, the city provides details for the Dry Creek Trail Park, which features amenities such as picnic tables, a playground, and various pavilions.
Integrated Data Sources
These mapping services rely on a vast array of data providers to ensure accuracy. Common contributors across these platforms include the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and NASA.
