About this map

Boulder serves as the focal point of this Jefferson County survey, where the Boulder River winds through its valley beneath the prominent Capital Hill. The landscape transitions from the residential streets of the town, such as E Centennial Ave, toward the expansive timberlands of the Deerlodge National Forest. Significant water infrastructure and historical land use are evident, from the Murphy Ditch irrigation system to the intriguing Chinese Diggings Rd west of the river.

Genealogical interest is found at the Boulder Cem and local landmarks like the Boulder River Bridge. To the south and east, the terrain rises into high ridges and named gulches including Widemouth Gulch and Crazyman Gulch. High-altitude features like Bull Mtn and Clarke Ridge overlook numerous springs and small parks, including Little Whitetail Park and Hadley Park, illustrating the region's character as a mountain community tied to the river and the forest.
