This map, entirely made by George Bent, shows his recollection of the positions at Sand Creek. The Indian camp was divided into small camps belonging to various chiefs. He sets down the Arapaho camp and the following Cheyenne camps: Black Kettle's, White Antelope's (here he has drawn the figure of a man representing White Antelope as he was standing when shot down); One Eye's camp, War Bonnet's camp, and Sand Hill Band. He shows the trails of the attacking troops, the Indian herds west of the creek, the place where the women and children were killed; the "pits" under the west bank where the Indians made their stand and the positions of the soldiers surrounding the pits. George E. Hyde.
