About location

Woods Cross is best known within Utah for the Woods Cross Refinery, a major petroleum-processing facility in the northern Salt Lake Valley. The city occupies a developed part of Davis County between the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Range, where residential neighbourhoods, rail and road corridors, and everyday businesses shape the urban fabric. Its name recalls Daniel H. Woods, an early settler whose home stood at a crossroads in the area. Incorporated in 1935, Woods Cross forms part of the interconnected Salt Lake City metropolitan area while retaining its own municipal identity. The Great Salt Lake opens up the valley to the west, while the Wasatch Front rises beyond the city to the east.

Region Utah

Utah has functioned as a frontier region within the United States since the mid-19th century. Its terrain spans the Great Basin, the Wasatch Range and the Colorado Plateau, where red-rock canyons and high desert occupy much of the south and east. The Great Salt Lake is the state’s defining inland water body, while the Colorado River has carved some of its most dramatic canyon country. Salt Lake City grew from the 1847 settlement of Mormon pioneers, and Utah entered the Union in 1896. Five national parks, including Zion, Arches and Bryce Canyon, reflect the extraordinary variety of its protected landscapes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Utah.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
