Colorful, unrecorded thematic map made during WWI with the objective of presenting Salt Lake City, Utah as a great choice for a future Army Depot based on its proximity to war materials. In 1920 the Ogden Ordnance Reserve Depot was established (with 1410 acres) as a general storage depot for left-over ordnance from WWI, less than 35 miles north of Salt Lake City.
