About this map

The Lodge Grass community sits within the Crow Indian Reservation, serving as a hub for both transportation and regional activity along the Little Bighorn River. This 1967 survey documents a landscape where the river’s winding course dictates the layout of infrastructure, including the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad and the Fortymile Canal. Local social and civic life is anchored by the Indian Center, a central Cem, and a local Water Tank.

The surrounding terrain is defined by numerous drainage systems such as Slaughter Creek, Owl Creek, and Lodge Grass Creek that feed into the river valley. Resource extraction and industrial development are evident through several Oil Wells, Drill Hole locations, and Gravel Pits. To the south, the passage known as Sioux Pass and its associated Sioux Pass Creek suggest traditional travel routes through the higher ground east of the river valley.
