Rock River

The high, open plains around Rock River are semi-arid and exposed to Wyoming’s weather, conditions that have shaped both the town’s compact layout and its ranching-based economy. The community stands on the Rock River in Albany County, between the larger centres of Laramie and Rawlins, where grassland and broad horizons define southern Wyoming’s interior. Rock River developed as a railroad settlement on the Union Pacific line, linking it to the nineteenth-century route that helped connect the American West. Today, it remains a small service point on U.S. Route 30/287 and Wyoming Highway 487, with the Medicine Bow Mountains farther west.
