English: The site of the 1868 Battle of Beecher Island — as it appeared in 1917.
  • Located in Yuma County, northeastern Colorado.
  • The Arickaree flows near the camp. The south channel of the Arickaree has closed up, owing to the stream's sifting silt depositions. Prairie landscape flora covers the terrain.
