Geography. - Utah belonged to Mexico until 1848, when it was ceded to the United States by the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo. The present confines of the state measure 345 miles in length, by 285 miles in width, comprising an area of square miles. It is mountainous throughout, but is traversed from north to south by a chain of valleys of marvelous fertility. The altitude varies from to feet above sea level. The great variation in altitude ac counts for the diversified vegetation in the different parts of the state. Clear mountain streams ?owing into the valleys make the land productive. West of the Wasatch range is the Great Desert region in which lies the Dead Sea of America. The principal rivers of the northern part of the state ?ow into this body of water.
