The Great Salt Lake fluctuates a lot, but not on an annual basis. More like each decade. It was very low in the mid-1960s to the point that people were afraid it was going to dry up. By the mid 1980s it was so full that it was beginning to come up over Interstate 15 and the state of Utah installed huge pumps to pump excess water out into the West desert to evaporate. We’ve had several dry years and it’s low again but it will swing back the other way.

I’m other words , less diversity and immigration.

The not so "pony expess" in that first shot, but surprising it was still delivered that way at such a late date. The Great Salt Lake was still full! Glorious days. Thanks NASS for the nice color.

the u.s. postal department lasted until 1971. afterwards it became the USPS. POSTAGE WAS 3c from 1932 to 1958. 2c for local mail.

​ @TRUCKDR1V3R ? Are you talking about during this time when white people dropped bombs to exterminate japan? How about the lynching of blacks just two states over? Equality? Korean war? You kidding me? These were the atrocities that people lived through back then.

I’ve lived in utah my whole life, and I’ve never seen such a beautiful place… in the 40’s I mean. The way it is now, isn’t great. :/ good job utah

[@rygarisfun8164]

Thinking the same thing. I wish people appreciated the history of everything. Now, Utah is just a giant highway with loads of billboards and suburbs.

[@firepower7654]

@@rygarisfun8164 Los Angeles COUNTY has a population of 10,000,000 people. Now think of that infrastructure...highways, suburbs, cities, billboards, etc that support a COUNTY that has over three times your states population. Sometimes it's best to just sit back and think that it could be a LOT worse.

0:32 Wow, I never had a chance to visit Bingham, but it looks like it was a neat place. It makes me sad that it's gone.

utah was and still is as beautiful

[@bkucinschi]

One thing's for sure: people were much thiner back then.

[@drmichaelshea]

That’s the way it was in years just before I was born. Life was simpler then. People didn’t live as long on average. I had a good childhood. 1949 was a good time to be born.
