2017 Map of Boyd

About this map

Boyd serves as a central point in this Carbon County landscape, where the confluence of several vital water management systems defines the local geography. The area's reliance on a complex network of irrigation is evident through features like the Highline Ditch, Carbonado Ditch, and Hoyle Ditch, which redirect water across the terrain to support agricultural life. Prominent natural landmarks such as Blanchard Butte and Stormitt Butte rise above the surrounding drainages of Rock Creek and Red Lodge Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals key heritage sites including the Carbonado Cem and Beltz Cem, alongside family-named landmarks like Chappel Spring. The transition from creek-side flats to elevated buttes and ridges like Shane Ridge Rd illustrates a working landscape shaped by both natural topography and intentional water engineering.
