About this map

The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument dominates this Montana landscape, preserving the terrain of the 1876 conflict. Every topographical detail is documented, from the high ground of Last Stand Hill and Greasy Grass Ridge to the steep Deep Ravine and Calhoun Hill. The map meticulously labels these tactical landmarks alongside the Custer National Cem, providing a precise spatial context for the historic engagement between the U.S. Army and the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho.

Along the Little Bighorn River, the settlement of Crow Agency serves as a modern hub, featuring the Little Big Horn Coll and Crow Agency Cem. Southward, the hamlet of Garryowen sits near the tracks and riverbank, surrounded by family-named coulees and ridges like Nye-Cartwright Ridge and Spotted Tail Coulee. The presence of the Agency Canal and Reno Canal illustrates the managed water systems critical to the Little Bighorn Valley geography.
