Location and Layout
Brigham City lies in southeastern Box Elder County on the western slopes of the Wellsville Mountains, a branch of the Wasatch Range, and is generally considered the northern end of the Wasatch Front. To the west is a large, flat region of desert scrub, eventually giving way to marshlands on the edge of the Great Salt Lake. Interstates 15 and 84 pass to the west of the city together, while U.S. 89 and U.S. 91 intersect in the city, climbing through Box Elder Canyon together. 1
