History

Buffalo Jump State Park: "Situated on the edge of a broad valley carved by the Madison River, this high limestone cliff was used by Native Americans for 2,000 years--ending as recently as 200 years ago. Native people stampeded vast herds of bison off this massive semicircular cliff, using them for food, clothing, shelter and provisions." you may find more information about this historical park at https://fwp.mt.gov/stateparks/madison-buffalo-jump
