About this map

Boulder Town, located within the Dixie National Forest, serves as the central hub of this high-elevation plateau landscape in the mid-1960s. The settlement is clearly defined by the Boulder Town Corporate Boundary and includes essential local infrastructure like the Boulder Post Office, a Radio Facility, and the Rodeo Grounds. The community's reliance on local water and power is evidenced by labels for a Powerhouse, Weir, and Water Tank situated along the descent of Boulder Creek.

The surrounding terrain is a complex series of benches and ledges, including Pretty Tree Bench and New Home Bench, separated by deep canyons like Big Hollow. For those tracing local history or aviation, the presence of the Boulder Landing Strip and the network of primitive routes like Road Draw and various Jeep Trails reveal how residents and foresters navigated this remote corner of Garfield County. Unique landmarks like Balancing Rock and Sugarloaf punctuate the ridges above the many branches of Deer Creek.
