About this map

Boulder serves as the primary hub in this Jefferson County landscape, where the Boulder River winds through a valley defined by deep gulches and significant ranching history. The settlement is anchored by community landmarks such as the Boulder Post Office, the Boulder Vol Fire Dept, and the local Boulder Cemetery. Evidence of historical land use appears at the Chinese Diggins west of the river, while the presence of the Boulder River School and Hospital and the Boulder Airport indicates the town's role as a regional service center.

Outlying areas are marked by established homesteads like Larson Ranch, McCauley Ranch, and Murphy Ranch, many of which follow the paths of McCarty Creek and Farnham Creek. The thermal geography of the region is highlighted by the Boulder Hot Springs south of town, a notable feature in this drainage basin. From the elevations of Ryan Mountain to the depths of Goat Canyon, the map traces a complex network of forest roads and water sources, including Schoolhouse Spring and Rocky Spring.
