Below is a current photograph of the Custer Battlefield taken at the same spot as the post card photograph.  As you can see, not much has changed.  The site is near the town of Crow Agency; the nearest city to the battlefield is Billings.

Behind the photographer stands the Last Stand monument, erected as a memorial to those who fought in the Battle of Little Bighorn (both George Armstrong Custer’s 7th Cavalry and the combined Lakota-Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho force that opposed them).
