How did Helm's Deep actually look?

I have a really hard time picturing Helm's Deep in my head, and whenever I reach that chapter I go "oh no, Helm's Deep

".
This chapter is so freaking confusing, I just see this bridge surrounded by hills, and then Tolkien starts talking about some river and a forest and stuff.

How do you picture Helm's Deep?
Could you please describe how it's supposed to look?

Tolkien's vision.

This is how Hildebrandt sees it.

Thanks.
However, where does the battle take place in Tolkien's drawing?
And where's that forest that pops up later?
