The Marias River starts east of present-day Glacier National Park and flows into the Missouri at Loma; it is also known as a miniature Missouri. Lewis and Clark camped near its confluence with the Missouri on June 2, 1805, and debated which fork was the true Missouri. Named by Lewis the "Maria's" River in honor of Lewis' cousin Miss Maria Wood, "the hue of the water of this turbulent and troubles stream but illy comport with the pure celestial virtues and amiable qualification of that lovely fair one."
