Accomplished by: Kristal J. Isaacs, Douglas W. Epperson, and Nathaniel L. Kelley under the supervision of Instructor Tim Urbaniak

Throughout the fall semester of 2011, students of the Montana State University Billings ,College of Technology Drafting and Design Department documented three crow agency sites. These three sites were constructed prior to the present location of Crow Agency. Students used current technologies of civil ,GIS, architectural ,imaging ,three dimensional modeling , and animation software to incorporate historical documents within digital landscapes.
