On June 6, 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped on the starboard side of the Missouri River after a challenging day navigating strong currents and eroding banks. Earlier, they passed notable landmarks including Split Rock Creek and Saline Creek, the latter known for its salt springs. The day's journey was marked by the river rising a foot overnight and the crew's efforts to mend the barge's mast before setting out.
