AFAIK the vast majority of development is, barring the exception you mentioned like a company or government building a town because someone happened to pick a place in the boonies next to some sort of resource.

Sure there is. Find someplace that's really in the boonies. If someone is a hundred miles away from even a small town w/ a few hundred people, preferably a ghost town w/ fewer people, that's either stable or contracting, then that probably won't be an issue. If they live within ~50 mies of a growing town, even if there are only a few thousand people and one grocery store, then it's way more likely they'll see sprawl at some point in the future.
