Each profile carries the dual story — TR / conservation alongside Indigenous / 1864 — and lists the partners co-authoring it. Long-form Site profiles arrive after Phase 1 consultation and capture (May–June 2027 paddling window).
The river's headline put-in. TR Presidential Library opens 1.5 mi west of town in 2026. Same river bottom Sully's 1864 column camped on the night before the Battle of the Badlands.
Three-day running engagement along the Little Missouri between Medora and Sentinel Butte — through what would become TRNP South Unit. Sitting Bull among the Lakota defenders.
TR's true Badlands home — foundation stones still visible. BCA's signature viewshed campaign. The profile carries both the TR conservation story and the older history of the ground.
River bends below the Achenbach Trail. The cinematic aerial reach of the corridor. Drone + photogrammetry hero site.
Standard 5-day takeout from Medora. Cleanest Phase 1 endpoint for the documented paddle reach — ~107.5 mi total from the Medora put-in.
Sully's column attacked an encampment of ~6,000 Hunkpapa, Sihasapa, Miniconjou, Sans Arc, Yanktonai, and Santee. The day after the battle, 700 troops burned the camp — tipis, winter food, thousands of dogs. Children left behind were killed.
Highest concentration of trails on the state-designated scenic reach. State Parks partnership anchor for the lower river.
River terminus — a 30-mi arm of Lake Sakakawea on MHA Nation lands. The cultural anchor of the corridor. Lake Sakakawea is named for a Hidatsa-adopted woman whose homeland Garrison Dam destroyed.
Where the Little Missouri historically met the Missouri — now submerged. Photogrammetry, historical photographs, and MHA Nation oral history reconstruct what's beneath the reservoir.
