2017 Map of Rimrock

About this map

Rimrock and the expanding northwest reaches of Billings are defined by the dramatic geological formations of the Rimrocks, which divide the higher plains from the developed valleys. This 2017 study illustrates a landscape of modern residential growth meeting traditional ranching and aviation history, evidenced by localized airstrips like Haynes Ranch Airport, Skywagon Ranch Airport, and Wilcox Airport. The drainage network includes N Fork Alkali Cr and S Fork Alkali Cr, which wind through the northern sections, while Phipps Park serves as a significant recreational anchor within the terrain. Civil engineering is highlighted by the Baseline and irrigation features such as Cove Ditch, reflecting the historical and ongoing management of water in this part of Yellowstone County. Street names like Molt Rd and Alkali Creek Rd trace the path of earlier rural routes now integrated into the suburban fabric.
