2002 Map of Boulder Town

About this map

Boulder Town sits at the convergence of diverse plateaus and deep watercourses in Garfield County, acting as a gateway between high forest lands and desert monument terrain. This 2002 revision illustrates the community's geographic context, anchored by Anasazi State Park and the vital Boulder Creek corridor. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant topographic shifts, from the elevations of Deer Mountain to the benchlands of New Home Bench and Pretty Tree Bench. Significant infrastructure like the All-American Highway 12 and the Burr Trail connect the isolated settlement to the surrounding wilderness of the Dixie National Forest and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Local landmarks such as Balancing Rock and Thompson Ledge provide specific orientation points for those studying the transition between agricultural use and protected public lands in the early 21st century.
