At the time Crow-Flies-High Village was occupied, the Missouri River flowed along a slightly different course than it did in 1952. What in later times was a lesser channel across the river from the site was once its main course. Before the river bottoms were inundated by Garrison Dam the main stream was rapidly eroding into the broad, low benchland and was a little closer to the site than it was formerly. Evidently the location of the village had been a favorite occupation ground in prehistoric times. A few chips of "Knife River flint," and some lithic specimens of the same material were picked up on the surface of the gromid, and one or two pieces came from screening the earth around a more recent cabin site.
