Here is a map I made showing the Epicenters in Utah between You can see the dot groups in Utah and this tells us were the major densities of seismic activity are through out the state. This data is from Utah AGRC and The University of Utah Seismograph Stations.

This map shows the projected major earthquake area. This data was taken from an earthquake model that the University of Utah Seismic Stations created. You can see that the impact area stretches from Utah County to Weber County, with the epicenter located in Salt Lake County The magnitude of this Earthquake will be Between 5.0 and 7.0
