About this map

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument anchors the southwest corner of this landscape, marking the site of one of the most significant conflicts in Western American history. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages that flow through the Big Horn County foothills, including Medicine Tail Cr and the geographically significant Medicine Tail Coulee. These features represent the complex topography where tactical movements occurred during the 1876 battle, providing a spatial context for the primary historical event.

Waterways like Custer Cr, N Fork Reno Cr, and Reno Cr weave through the township divisions of T2S, T3S, and T4S. The modern transportation corridor is represented by US Route 212, which cuts diagonally across the center of the sheet, bridging the gap between the historical battlefield and the surrounding high plains. Other natural features such as Ash Cr and Willow Cr emphasize the riparian character of this otherwise arid, dissected landscape.
