Fort Mitchell was abandoned after the Fort Laramie peace conference of 1867. The ground plan of Fort Mitchell consisted of a stockade with a sally port, firing loopholes, and a sentinel tower. Today no trace of the sod structure remains at the site west of the North Platte River bend northwest of Scott's Bluff. Mitchell Pass and the city of Mitchell, Nebraska, derive their names from this military post.
