2017 Map of Rock Springs School

About this map

Rock Springs School stands as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of eastern Montana, situated south of the small settlement of Rock Springs. This 2017 survey reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of intermittent drainages and coulees, where water management is critical to ranching and local life. The map illustrates several named watercourses including Dirty Woman Cr, Uall Cr, and Fulton Cr that carve through the undulating terrain. Artificial water sources such as Boies Reservoir and Kreger Reservoir underscore the necessity of water storage in this semi-arid environment. The boundary between Garfield and Rosebud counties cuts horizontally across the northern section, while a grid of local roads like Angela Rd N and E Rock Springs Rd provides the primary infrastructure for the dispersed rural population.
