 | | The headwaters of the Missouri are in the Rocky Mountains of southwestern Montana, near the Continental divide. |
 | | It flows east across the plains of Montana into North Dakota, then turns southeast, flowing into South Dakota, and along the north and eastern edge of Nebraska, forming part of its border with South Dakota and nearly all its boundary with Iowa, flowing past Sioux City, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska. |
 | | The river is nicknamed "Big Muddy" because of the high silt content in its flow, a feature that is highly visible at its confluence with the Mississippi. |
