Rockvale is a small place in Carbon County, Montana, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Today, you'll find a bar, a casino, and some houses there. Not much is left of the old town, except for a cemetery nearby.
Rockvale is located where two roads meet: U.S. Route 212 and Montana Secondary Highway 310. A stream called Rock Creek flows just south of the community.
