Figure 10. The 1883 Blake map overlaid on the 1967 topographic map. The river and oxbows appear to be relatively correct. Some variation is noted in the Reno Valley fight area which may show the degree of channel change since 1883. . suggests that Blake may have captured the correct meander configuration along the Custer battlefield segment of the river in 1883. His depictions of the remainder of the river meanders, particularly in the vicinity of the Reno-Benteen area show more variation suggesting the river course has changed since 1883. In a recent article Pitsch and Wert (2007) assessed the river changes in the Reno valley area. They suggest the Reno Valley fight river meanders have changed through time, but do not suggest that the river has moved to a significant degree from 21
Figure 11. The 1901 Sampson map overlaid on the 1967 topographic map. Sampson used Blake’s 1883 river meanders as the basis for depicting the river channel in 1901. As with the Blake map the river and oxbows appear to be relatively correct. Some variation is noted in the Reno Valley fight area which may show the degree of channel change since 1883. that depicted on the 1883 Blake map. The discrepancies between river channels in the Reno Valley fight area as depicted on the 1883 Blake map and the 1901 Sampson maps compared to the 1954 aerial photograph (Figure 12) river channel need to be resolved with further analysis. 22
