2017 Map of Boulder

About this map

Boulder serves as the central hub of this Wyoming landscape, where the New Fork River and East Fork River converge amidst a complex system of water management. The terrain is defined by its agricultural and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by an extensive series of numbered reservoirs such as East Fork Reservoir Number 1 and Bailey Reservoir Number 2. These water features, alongside Alkali Cr and Sand Springs Draw, illustrate the efforts to sustain this high-elevation basin. Family names and local history are preserved in sites like the Vible Cem and infrastructure like the Boulder Rearing Station Rd. To the east, the elevation rises toward Chalk Butte, where the Chalk Butte Spring provides a natural contrast to the man-made impoundments of the valley floor.
