About this map

Boulder Town occupies a high-desert landscape where the Dixie National Forest meets a complex network of plateaus and canyons. The settlement is anchored by local landmarks such as Schoolhouse Ledge and the nearby Boulder Cem, reflecting its established community roots. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features including Balancing Rock, Thompson Ledge, and several prominent benches like Pretty Tree Bench and New Home Bench.

Transportation routes here are a mix of modern roads and historic pathways, with the Moab to Boulder Town route and the Long Neck Trail cutting through the canyons. The presence of the Tailrace Canal alongside Boulder Creek suggests a managed water system supporting the local economy. From the elevations of Ormand Point down to Baker Wash, the map provides a look at how topography dictates movement and habitation in this part of Garfield County.
