In compliance with a treaty, Urquiza led a joint army across Morón creek and positioned his forces in Monte Caseros. The armies clashed in the proximities of the Caseros family ranch in Buenos Aires province, with the battlefield located between the present-day railway stations of Caseros and Palomar, near the town of El Palomar. Rosas, shot through the hand and left behind by his entourage, fled to Buenos Aires after the unsuccessful battle.
