The site of fighting April 2-3, 1864 as Confederate troops tried to keep General Frederick Steele's Northern army from gaining a foothold across the Little Missouri River and positioning for an attack on the Confederate capital at Washington. It remains forested bottomlands, much as it was in 1864.
