2017 Map of Boyes

About this map

The E Fork Little Powder River cuts through this corner of Carter and Powder River counties, anchoring a high-plains landscape defined by intermittent creeks and prominent elevations. The small settlement of Boyes sits near the junction of several rural routes, including Belle Creek Rd and Scott Creek Ln. Prominent landmarks such as Deranleau Butte and Morellas Butte rise above the surrounding drainages of Hay Cr and Pilgrim Cr, providing critical navigational points in the open terrain. Family history is centered at the Boyes Cem, located northeast of the main townsite near the banks of Scott Cr. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where ranching life is tied to the water of the Burdette Cr and Coyote Cr, with access provided by a network of descriptive routes like Mountain Top Rd and Moore Cut-Off Rd.
