2024 Map of Rimrock

About this map

Rimrock and the northwestern edges of Billings occupy a landscape defined by dramatic topographical shifts and a complex network of man-made waterways. The presence of the Rimrocks formations overlooks a transition from the higher plateaus in the north, where North Fork Alkali Creek and South Fork Alkali Creek drain toward the valley, to the irrigated lowlands. The importance of water management in this Montana environment is visible through the extensive reach of the High Ditch, Big Ditch, and Snow Ditch, which parallel the natural path of Hogans Slough. Rural aviation is a distinct characteristic of this era, with several private airfields including Haynes Ranch Airport, Wilcox Airport, and Husky Ranch Airport dotting the outskirts of the growing city. Residential expansion is noted by the cluster of golf-themed street names like Sam Snead Trl and Bobby Jones Blvd near the city limits.
