- Bonanza, Custer County, Idaho
- Idaho City, Idaho
- Anamosa, Iowa
- Dodge City, Kansas
- Hays, Kansas
- Seney, Schoolcraft County, Michigan
- Billings, Montana
- Virginia City, Montana
- Ogallala, Nebraska
- Riley Camp, Quay County, New Mexico

Boot Hill is also a community in Cecil County, Maryland. As an homage to the common meaning of the term, TSR, the maker of Dungeons and Dragons, briefly marketed a Western-based role-playing game called Boot Hill. A 1970s arcade game went by the same name. See also External links
