A good book for yard maps is "North American Railyards" by Michael Rhodes (St. Paul: MBI Publishing, 2003). It has maps and/or info for the following SP yards (listed in the UP section, though):

Taylor (no map)

West Colton

Eugene (no map)

Roseville (Davis)

Englewood (no map) 

Pine Bluff (SSW - no map)

Good luck, espicially with finding anything from SPH&TS dealing with information past the transition era. Sometimes I wonder why I bothered joining. They do have some more recent articles, but they seem to be few and far between.
