2011 Map of Rockypoint

About this map

Rockypoint and the nearby Rocky Point landmark anchor this northeastern Campbell County landscape, where the high plains meet the headwaters of the Missouri River basin. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages, including Skunk Creek, Ranch Creek, and several branches of the Gammon Prong, all feeding toward the North Fork Little Missouri River in the south. This 2011 survey reveals a ranching-dependent infrastructure, with numerous small impoundments such as Scott Reservoir and West Reservoir providing vital water storage. Man-made features like Parks Dam, Hill Dam, and West Dam highlight the engineering required to manage water in this semi-arid environment. Access across the drainage divides is maintained by local routes including Rocky Point Rd and Riesland Rd, while the prominent Signal Hill rises in the north to provide a lookout over the surrounding prairie.
