In this paper we provide a classification theorem for one‐dimensional boundaries of groups with isolated flats. Given a group Γ acting geometrically on a CAT(0) space X with isolated flats and one‐dimensional boundary, we show that if Γ does not split over a virtually cyclic subgroup, then ∂X is homeomorphic to a circle, a Sierpinski carpet, or a Menger curve. This theorem generalizes a theorem of Kapovich–Kleiner, and resolves a question due to Kim Ruane.
