About this map

Boyes serves as a small anchor for this corner of Carter County, situated where Hammond Rd and Boyles South Rd meet near the East Fork Little Powder River. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape of high plains and isolated landmarks, characterized by prominent elevations like Deranleau Butte and Morellas Butte that rise above the surrounding drainage basins. The area's essential services and social infrastructure are concentrated in the community, including the Boyes Post Office and the Boyes Cemetery, accessed via Cemetery Rd.

A network of watercourses, including Hay Creek, Burdette Creek, and Pilgrim Creek, defines the local topography and historical grazing patterns. These seasonal and perennial streams converge across the quadrangle, reflecting the importance of water access in this high-plains environment. The map details the local road network, such as Pilgrim Creek Rd and Moore Cutoff Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and landmarks of this ranching region.
