If you want to find out about Bomont, Utah, look up Payson, Utah
Since that's where much of it was filmed.
The mill was filmed in Lehi, Utah.
Payson and Lehi are both near the eastern side of I-15.
Lehi is North of Provo, while Payson is to the South of Provo, between Santaquin to its south, and Spanish Fork to its north.
The mill, in Lehi, should also be in the Payson/Bomont area.
Maybe Footloose takes place in an alternate reality where Payson was named Bomont...?
Payson/Bomont is in Utah County.
I think the notable montain is Mount Nebo, in the Wasatch Range.

The current Payson High School was built in 1967 as both a high school and community bomb shelter during the cold war and has a current student enrollment of just over 1000 students in grades 10 through 12. Payson High School was also a site for the filming of the 1984 film Footloose, as is much of the surrounding Payson area.
Payson won state wrestling in 2009 and 2010. The first back-to-back state championship in the history of Payson High School.
Payson High School used to cover one of the largest geographical areas for one high school. It drew students from Payson, Santaquin, Goshen, Genola, and the rural communities of Elberta and Mosida. However, when Salem Hills High School was built in 2008, the areas of Elk Ridge, West Mountain, and portions of Payson no longer attended Payson High School.
