Lewis & Clark Decision Point
Marias River Loma, MT |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| At the confluence of the Marias-Missouri Rivers the Corps' biggest internal disagreement occured. Which river should be taken to continue the journey? After several days of exploration up both rivers and with most of the men preferring the Marias, Lewis & Clark made the command decision that the river to the left was the true Missouri and the route that would be taken. Several days later they were proved right when Lewis found The Great Falls of the Missouri.
Row 1--#5 & Row 2--#1-location of Lewis & Clark camp now has Indian teepees, #2-Marias River enters Missouri River just under brown field in middle distance, #3-large island similar to many used by expedition, #4, 5, and Row 3--#1-directional posts on top of Decision Point, #2 & 3-Fort Piegan, #4 & 5-early railroad information. |
