The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument occupies a significant portion of this landscape, marking the site of one of the most studied military engagements in the American West. The geography here is defined by high ridges and deep drainages, including Medicine Tail Coulee and Medicine Tail Cr, which lead toward the larger Little Bighorn Valley. These terrain features were critical to the movement and tactics of both the Seventh Cavalry and the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho forces. The map details the hydrology of the area, tracing the courses of Reno Cr and its N Fork Reno Cr, along with Custer Cr and Ash Cr. This layout provides an essential perspective on how the physical environment dictated historical events in Big Horn County, Montana.
