2020 Map of Rimrock

About this map

Billings and the residential expansion of the Rimrocks area define the southern half of this landscape, where the urban grid meets the dramatic sandstone escarpments of Yellowstone County. To the north, the terrain transitions into a series of drainages including N Fork Alkali Cr and S Fork Alkali Cr, interspersed with numerous private airfields such as Haynes Ranch Airport and Skywagon Ranch Airport. The suburban development is noted by a dense network of streets named for golf legends and local geography, while the irrigation history of the region is traced through the Cove Ditch and its proximity to Cove Cr. Significant public space is preserved at Phipps Park, anchoring the central portion of the map where the elevation shifts toward the high plains. The settlement of Baseline and the winding course of Hogans Slough provide further points of interest for those studying the 21st-century growth of this Montana hub.
