Salt Lake City was a pre-War city located in northern Utah.
Background
Located at the heart of Utah, Salt Lake City was heavily bombarded in the Great War. Over the span of just seven minutes, thirteen nuclear weapons hit the city, turning it into a sea of fire and destruction.[1] When the fires finally died down, the city was left a smoldering ruin. It was a landscape of craters and scorched earth, punctuated by warped steel skeletons of highrises and mounds of bricks where buildings would normally stand.[2]
The desolate wasteland became a breeding ground for mutants and undesirables. The only safe route into the city is through Interstate 80 or New Canaan.[3] The most terrifying presence was the White Legs tribe, opportunistic raiders who knew only a parasitic lifestyle and were eventually manipulated by the Caesar's Legion to destroy New Canaan, home of the Legion's former Legate, Joshua Graham.[4][5]

The area is also known to have been covered by giant mantises.[6]

Jed Masterson: "Without New Canaan's mission in Zion, the only ways to Salt Lake City are down the old I-80 or up through Ogden. The highway's too risky - NCR's rangers are so busy here in the Mojave they don't have the manpower to keep the raiders off. Ogden's just too far - we'd lose more in travel expenses than we'd ever earn."

This is only a partial list.
