The Boulder Creek cemetery has an interesting history of its own. Years back, a local high school teacher by the name of Bob Fitch removed the original wooden grave markers and donated them to the Boundary County Historical Society. Then, with the help of his students, Fitch made replicas of the grave markers and installed them in place of the orginals.

Boulder City: shadows of a mining marvel linger on
Remnants of decrepit settlements can be found throughout the dense, mountainous forests of the Northwest.

In many cases, these ghost towns have been reclaimed almost entirely by nature and little to no proof of their existence remains.
