About this map

Custer Battlefield National Monument (Reno-Benteen Battle Site) occupies the southern portion of this Big Horn County landscape, marking the historic grounds of the Reno-Benteen engagement. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Medicine Tail Coulee and Reno Creek, which cut through the high plains. The map illustrates a transitional period in the late 1960s where traditional grazing lands met modern infrastructure, such as the Conley Landing Strip. Detailed topographic contours reveal the complex ridges and draws that influenced the historical military movements in this area, including the pathways along Ash Creek and the North Fork Reno Creek. This survey provides a precise look at the land forms as they existed before subsequent decades of visitation and park development altered the immediate surroundings of the monument.
