I call BS on the Ghost Towns website's information. That website is about 90% fiction, 10% facts. I can't find any town by the name of Brigham River or Brodie Ridge to the Northwest of Richfield Utah on any old maps from the late 1800s or early 1900s.

If that town ever actually existed, then: A. Somebody knows the location, but doesn't want anyone else to know and is keeping it a big secret, or B. Nobody knows the actual location. Either way it was never much of an established community, or even worthy of being mentioned on maps.

Maybe it's the location of the Lost Dutchman's Mine... I know people look for that all the time

LOL, now they might just find that. Mine Camp Peak is Northwest of Richfield. It's pretty obvious what you would find there. And the topo maps show a few scattered cabins on White Pine Peak, which is closer to Richfield. My bet would be that those are probably old miner's cabins. Those cabins on White Pine Peak are probably what the Ghost Towns article is talking about. But their directions are completely wrong. If you followed those roads for 28 miles from Richfield, it would take you completely over the mountains and into the town of Fillmore, which is obviously not a ghost town. If anybody wants to find the cabins, or whatever is left of them, you could look for them at about: 38.85816 -112.2184. But it's no ghost town, and it looks like you would need an extremely aggressive 4x4 to get there. The satellite images don't show anything apparent at that location. So going there would probably be more trouble than it's worth.

Using Gaia map app and the Mapquest Satellite map layer, I found a cluster of buildings here: 38.85980, -112.22230. Benchmark Utah shows the White Pine Cabins at 38.861702, -112.221759 so pretty close. There are roads that lead you to the cabins, all USFS roads but, yes, they look to be sketchy.

A cool state park to visit is Fremont Indian State Park with hundreds of Native American rock art.
