A small-city setting
At about 1,171 residents per square mile, Rock Springs mixes a compact center with lower-density neighborhoods. Field work in Rock Springs is planned around a handful of main routes and a small number of places where a subject is likely to be, which keeps sessions short and costs predictable.
Major routes through the area
