What is map of bozeman trail?

The Bozeman Trail was a route of about 500 miles that ran north from the Oregon Trail in Wyoming to the gold fields of Montana in the mid-19th century. The trail was a major cause of conflict between Native tribes and white settlers. The map of the Bozeman Trail shows the route and locations of the forts that were built along the trail to protect travelers.

The Bozeman Trail began at the north Platte River in present-day Wyoming and followed the Bighorn River north into Montana. It passed through the Powder River Basin, a region inhabited by several Native American tribes, including the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho.

To protect travelers on the Bozeman Trail, the US Army constructed a series of forts, including Fort Reno, Fort Phil Kearny, and Fort C.F. Smith. These forts were the sites of several major battles between the US Army and Native tribes, including the Fetterman Massacre in 1866 and the Battle of the Rosebud in 1876.

The Bozeman Trail was eventually abandoned in the 1870s due to the ongoing conflict with Native tribes. Today, parts of the Bozeman Trail have been preserved as historic sites and important landmarks in the history of the American West.
