Salt Lake County, Utah
The beating heart of Utah, that’s Salt Lake County for you. It’s right in the middle of the state’s northern half. This place has got it all. City life, mountain views, and a salty lake to boot.
The Wasatch Range looms to the east, a playground for hikers and skiers. Salt Lake City is the star of the show, but don’t sleep on the suburbs. They’ve got their own flavor. The Great Salt Lake is something else. You can float like a cork in that super salty water.
Cultural scene? Top-notch. From the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to indie rock clubs, there’s always something going on. Tech’s booming here. And let’s not forget the food, from funeral potatoes to world-class sushi, this county’s got it. With over a million people, it’s Utah’s most populous county by far.

PHYSICAL MAP
Salt Lake County Topographic Map
Salt Lake County is caught between steep mountains and a salty, shrinking lake. The Wasatch Range towers over the eastern side, while the Oquirrh Mountains block the west. In between sits the Salt Lake Valley. It’s flat, urbanized, and heavily developed. But elevation still matters here. Even some city streets climb uphill.

This is one of Utah’s busiest highway hubs. I-15 runs down the center, always packed. I-80 cuts across east to west, while I-215 loops around the metro area. But despite all that pavement, some roads still offer mountain views. Our zoom below tool makes it easy to follow every on-ramp and shortcut.
SATELLITE IMAGERY
Salt Lake County Satellite Map
From above, Salt Lake County looks like a gray and green grid framed by mountains. The city and suburbs sprawl across the valley, with barely a break. The Wasatch Range looms large, dense, forested, and sharply defined. Great Salt Lake appears to the northwest. But its shoreline is faded and shallow.
