About this map

Boulder Town sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape within the Dixie National Forest. This 1960s-era mapping of Garfield County reveals a remote settlement defined by its unique geology, where agricultural life and early aviation infrastructure like the Boulder Town Landing Strip meet the surrounding wilderness. The survey captures the town’s essential landmarks, including the local Rodeo Grounds, a Radio Facility, and the Schoolhouse Ledge.

The terrain is marked by distinctive formations such as Balancing Rock, Sugarloaf, and Thompson Ledge. Deep drainage patterns like Nazer Draw and Big Side Hollow cut through the landscape, feeding into Boulder Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Haws Pasture and several family-named benches like Pretty Tree Bench and New Home Bench offers a glimpse into the land usage and settlement patterns of this isolated Utah community before modern developments shifted the rural character.
