Lewis and Clark followed the Missouri River until it branched into the Gallatin River in the West. This branching occurred in present-day Montana, where the river splits into three forks: the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers. The expedition ultimately took the Jefferson River as their route toward the Pacific.
