The Golden Spike

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month begins this week and the General Land Office is highlighting a record that showcases an accomplishment of an Asian population in America. This week's record is a plat that displays Township 10 North Range 3 West of the Salt Lake Meridian. This is the location of the Golden Spike, which is now a historical park in Utah. Read more on ArcGIS Story Maps.
