Here is a link to a series of maps from Blue & Gray Magazine, Volume XXIII, Issue 2 (2006):

Little Bighorn Maps

The first page shows the overall campaign, with three separate forces:  Gobbon setting out from Fort Shaw, Crook from Fort Fetterman, and Custer and Terry from Fort Abraham Lincoln.  The remaining maps show the details of the battle throughout the afternoon of June 25, 1876.

And here is a link to a phot of the battlefiled grave of Myles Keogh, who fought with Buford at Gettysburg:

Myles Keogh Battlefield Grave

Myles Keogh's horse became quite famous after the battle, as discussed on this site.
