2014 Map of Rock Springs School

About this map

Rock Springs School serves as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of the Big Horn Basin's northeastern margins. The community of Rock Springs is situated along MT-462 and Road 208, marking a rare point of concentration in a region otherwise defined by expansive range land. The topography is dissected by numerous intermittent drainages, most notably Dirty Woman Cr, Utall Cr, and Fulton Cr, which carve through the terrain between the Garfield Co and Rosebud Co line. Water management for local ranching is evident through the presence of Kreger Reservoir and Boies Reservoir, while a sparse network of gravel routes like Angela Rd N and Hirsch Rd connects the isolated homesteads and pastures of the early 21st-century Montana backcountry.
