2011 Map of Rock Springs School

About this map

Rock Springs stands at a significant road junction in this section of Rosebud County, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage and water management. The terrain is characterized by the branching paths of Dirty Woman Creek and Uall Creek, along with their various tributaries like East Uall Creek and Fulton Creek. This topography necessitated numerous small-scale water engineering projects to support the local ranching economy, visible through a series of named earthen structures including Alay Number 1 Dam, Haglofs Dam, and the Rock Springs Dam. Larger water bodies such as Boies Reservoir and Kreger Reservoir provide more permanent markers in this arid environment. The map also documents the local transit infrastructure of the early 21st century, specifically Rosebud Road 208 and Road 210, which connect the scattered homesteads and water resources of this high plains region.
