About this map

Boulder Town serves as the central hub of this Garfield County landscape, where the high desert plateau meets the southwestern edge of the Dixie National Forest. The geography is defined by dramatic elevation shifts and named escarpments such as Schoolhouse Ledge and Thompson Ledge, overlooking the winding path of Boulder Creek. Local history is anchored by the Boulder Cem and the settlement at New Home Bench, showing the persistent footprint of ranching and remote mountain living.

Transport and water management are critical features of this environment, evidenced by the Tailrace Canal and the junction of State Route 12 and the Burr Trail Road. Distinctive landmarks like Balancing Rock, Sadies Nipple, and Sugarloaf provide essential orientation points across the complex system of draws and hollows, including Nazer Draw and Dry Hollow. This map documents a region where modern infrastructure follows ancient natural corridors.
