The Pond Was Filled
The crew was filming the Fort Sedgwick sequences during a severe drought in South Dakota at the time. The nearby pond quickly dried up. Personnel had to deliver water in trucks every day to fill the pond. They didn’t want their system to have any inconsistencies. The Fort Sedgwick sequences were shot near the Triple U Buffalo Ranch, which was also where the bison pictures were taken. The set was constructed for the film and then disassembled, thus it is no longer accessible. The pond isn’t completely dry, at the very least.
