The Marias River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 210 mi (338 km) long, in the U.S. state of Montana. It is formed in Glacier County, in northwestern Montana, by the confluence of the Cut Bank Creek and the Two Medicine River. It flows east, through Lake Elwell, formed by the Tiber Dam, then southeast, receiving the Teton River at Loma, 2 mi. (3.2 km) above its confluence with the Missouri. The river was explored in 1805 by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Some of the men on the expedition mistook it for the main branch of the Missouri until their subsequent discovery of the Great Falls of the Missouri near Great Falls, Montana. The river was named by Meriwether Lewis after his cousin, Maria Wood. The river was the scene of the 1870 Marias Massacre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Witnesses to Carnage-The 1870 Marias Massacre in Montana )〕 The Marias is a Class I river from Tiber Dam to its confluence with the Missouri River for public access for recreational purposes.〔(Stream Access in Montana )〕 == Advocates == * Montana Watershed Coordination Council〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Montana Watershed Coordination Council )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marias River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
