Before I start in on solving any kind of a mystery, I like to get an overview of the area--the lay of the land, so to speak.
These topographical maps of the Kaysville-Layton area from 1955 to 2016 area a great way to do it--they give an interesting overview of the recent growth and development in this part of the county.
The Boynton Road Farm really stands out as one of the last remaining undeveloped pieces of ground in this area.

| 1969--the year my family moved to Holmes Creek Hollow. We lived just west of Boynton Road, and just north of Holmes Creek. |

| 1975. A major development in our part of the world was the construction of Fairfield Road. Construction started soon after we moved in, in 1969. Fairfield Road straightened out Boynton Road going across the hollow, filled it in with a pretty massive fill, and continued Boynton Road's northerly segment onwards to Mutton Hollow, Layton, and HAFB. The remainder of Boynton Road, meandering past the Kaysville Irrigation Reservoir and the Boynton Road Farm, remained a narrow and little-used country lane. |
