Joseph Smith had made a city plan for the city of Zion, which was never built. This plan was a grid pattern with religious and cultural centers at the center of each neighborhood, and allowing each family to have a large backyard in order to raise their own food. When the Mormon pioneers moved to Salt Lake City, they adapted this plan a little (such as making the streets incredibly wide), and then implemented it. Many other pioneer cities in the west follow a similar grid pattern. It is easy to find your way around and give directions, so the grid pattern continues to be followed today.

No, settlers did not primarily use the Salt Lake Trail to reach Oregon. Instead, they traveled the Oregon Trail, which was the main route for those heading to Oregon Territory. The Salt Lake Trail was primarily used by Mormon pioneers traveling to Utah, particularly to Salt Lake City. While some routes may have overlapped, the two trails served different migration purposes.
