Description

Branches across the river mark a beaver dam.

Big Hole National Battlefield Site. The camp site provided water, fish, beaver, and over small game for the Nez Perce. Natural systems continue to be evident across the cultural landscape. These features and systems influenced the choice of the camp site, battle strategy, and outcomes of the conflict. They are critical for understanding the setting of the historic events. Today, beaver activity is one factor that may contribute to changes in hydrodynamic patterns of the area, causing flooding and an increase in the number and density of willow thickets. During the historic period at the site, the beaver population would have been less significant due to the effects of fur trade in the early to mid 19th century.
