For your next trip out West, this new book looks like an indispensable traveling companion:
www.amazon.com/Forts-Northern-Plains-Historic-Military/dp/081173496X
Jerome Greene likes it: "A much-needed up-to-date guide to the critical forts of the Indian campaigns of the late nineteenth century. This book should be on the shelves of everyone with an interest in the West during this traumatic period of American history."
As does Robert Utley: "Barnes has produced a valuable combination of history and travel guide for all students of the Northern Plains Indian wars. A very timely, very impressive work."
I just bought a copy today, and it looks very good.
