2011 Map of Boyd

About this map

The Carbonado Mine and nearby Carbonado Cemetery dominate the eastern reaches of this Montana landscape, signaling the area's industrial past. This region is defined by an intricate network of irrigation features such as the Sabo-Johnson-Curry Ditch, Leimback Ditch, and Highline Ditch, which redirect water from major streams like Rock Creek and Red Lodge Creek to support agriculture. The small settlement of Boyd sits centrally among these watercourses, while the southern terrain is marked by prominent natural landmarks including Blanchard Butte and Stormitt Butte. Farther south, the Beltz Cemetery and Chappel Spring offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians, reflecting the dispersed nature of rural settlement in Carbon County. The drainage patterns of Hot Dance Creek and Cow Creek further illustrate the topographic character of this high plains environment.
