LaBarge Rock
LaBarge Rock in Chouteau County, Montana (occasionally referred to as La Barge Rock) is a dramatic landform in the shape of a large rock column or pillar, rising 150 feet from waters' edge of the Missouri River. Besides having a striking appearance, LaBarge Rock is located in a picturesque riverside setting which has attracted artists and photographers over two centuries. Access is difficult; the pillar is located at Missouri River BLM mile-mark 56〔(Complete Paddler: A Guidebook for Paddling the Missouri River From The Headwaters to St. Louis, Missouri, David L. Miller, Farcountry Press, 2005, p.112 (for BLM Mile Mark reference) and p. 115 (for reference to LaBarge Rock) )〕 in the White Cliffs section of the remote Missouri Breaks area of Montana. The pillar is composed of massive dark alkilik igneous rock, in striking contrast to the long white sandstone cliffs that form its backdrop. Because of the isolation of the Missouri Breaks area LaBarge Rock and the White Cliffs appear today much as they did when seen by Lewis and Clark in 1804 on the outward leg of their journey of exploration.
==Name origin==
LaBarge Rock was named for Captain Joseph LaBarge(1815–1899) who was a famous pioneering steamboat captain on the Missouri.〔(Joseph LaBarge, Steamboat Captain )〕 He plied the upper Missouri river in Montana during the boom years of upper Missouri river travel. From 1859 to 1890 steamboat transportation between lower river ports in Missouri up to the head of navigation at Fort Benton, Montana Territory, was the common mode by which passengers and freight got to and from the mining camps and ranches of central and western Montana.〔(History, Upper Missouri Breaks National Monument )〕 Occasionally the land form is called La Barge Rock, an alternative spelling of Captain LaBarge's name.
