m spread (p95−p5, ~20–40 km window)

The county center sits at about 1,307 m above sea level. Elevation across the sampled window spreads 687 m — mountainous terrain by our banding (flat <30 m · gently rolling 30–100 m · hilly 100–300 m · mountainous >300 m). Water covers about 7% of the county's area (Census Gazetteer). These are county-scale context, not parcel measurements — a specific parcel gets its own slope, flood and usable-acreage readings when analyzed.

Elevation measured 2026-07-21 from the AWS Terrain Tiles (terrarium encoding, z10).

Data available for Salt Lake County

• No owner name. Utah publishes statewide parcel boundaries but redacts owner names from its open data. The county assessor holds the full record.
• Legal description — township, range and section from the BLM Public Land Survey System.
• FEMA flood zones, wetlands, soil survey and NCCPI soil productivity — the federal layers, all free and all available here.
• 56 measured signals from satellite imagery and public records — slope and usable acreage, observed surface water, vegetation trend, wildfire and seismic hazard, access and neighboring land use. Each one cites its method, its source, and the date it was observed.
