Missouri River near Arrow Rock — Joseph Whitehouse: June 25, 1804
The expedition set out from Hard Scrabble Prairie and passed two creeks along the way, one called La Beane and the other Rowling Creek, on the southwest side. Just above Rowling Creek, two wolves appeared on shore, and a man from the white pirogue went ashore and shot one. The east side of the river featured high, well-timbered land with hills coming close to the water. The party traveled 14 miles and camped on a small island.
