	Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program Lower Marias Unit
		The river outlet works are controlled by a 5.0-by 5.0-foot, high-pressure gate having a capacity of 1,540 cubic feet per second, and discharging through a 72-inch-diameter steel pipe.
		The Lower Marias Unit with Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell was selected as the most desirable plan of development because of the relative need of the local area and its important relationship to the overall Missouri River Basin Program (now Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program).
		During 1940-1941, the recorded flow of the Marias River reached an all time low, limiting to 110,000 acres the land that could be irrigated by initial storage of the Marias River runoff.

		The Marias starts east of present-day Glacier National Park and flows into the Missouri at Loma: it is also known as a miniature Missouri.
		Named by Lewis the "Maria's" in honor of Lewis's cousin Miss Maria Wood, "the hue of the water of this turbulent and troubled stream but illy comport with the pure celestial virtues and amiable qualifications of that lovely fair one." Later historians and mapmakers dropped the apostrophe.

		Later in the 19th century, the Marias Pass was discovered near its head; at 1,590 m/5,215 ft, the pass would have provided the route (although seasonal) through the Rockies for which they were looking.

		Lewis’s cousin’s river flows for approximately 170 miles, twisting and turning through deep canyons and a magnificent prairie landscape toward the Missouri.
		In 1950, a flood diverted the course of the Marias, forcing it to enter the Missouri nearly one mile farther upstream and thereby altering a physical location in history.
		Below this spot and closer to the river, the Expedition built caches, storing supplies and the red pirogue, to be retrieved on their homeward journey.

		They had been told about other rivers that joined the Missouri from the north and from the south by the Indians they wintered had with, but this one was a completely unexpected surprise.
		Their accurate determination of which river was actually the Missouri enabled the Expedition to press on with the journey to the Pacific without the costly retracing of steps that would have been caused by taking the wrong route.
		Since they were riding horses and not bound to the river, they would probably have left the river at that point in favor of a shorter overland route to the rich hunting grounds at the great falls of the Missouri.

	ESPN Outdoors -- Four stretches for Missouri River walleye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		WOLF POINT, Mont. — The problem with the Missouri River through much of Montana is that dams, towns and irrigated agriculture don't allow it to act like a natural river.
		In its pre-settlement state, the river that drains more than half the state slept beneath winter ice, roared with snowmelt and spring rains and maintained a fairly sizeable summer flow before diminishing to a fraction of its capacity through the fall.
		The river's fish evolved in that seasonal variability, and many species — such as pallid and shovelnose sturgeon, sauger and suckers — made mighty spawning runs to take advantage of the river's increased springtime volume and access to seasonally flooded habitat.

		The Marias River flows for an additional eighty miles below Tiber Dam to its confluence with the Missouri River near Loma, Montana.
		The river is also quite wide and deep, limiting a wade fisherman's ability to reach the productive fishing spots on the river, which is an important consideration.
		Unlike some other Montana rivers that have fish seemingly crowding all along the stream bottom, the trout on the Marias River are generally very dispersed.

		For the first day and a half, as the river meandered through a scrubby, shallow valley peppered with sagebrush and blossoming prickly-pear, we spent our time dodging boulders in the river, dragging the boat over shallow gravel-bars and pumping water out of the boat.
		Most of the bends in the river have proven too shallow for the motor - and there are proving to be plenty of bends in the river.
		Such are the lessons and minor redemptions of a week on this river where death and life intermingle, where mountains erode into the river and around every bend comes more of the same, something altogether new and revealing.

	Marias Pass
		Camp Disappointment was the northern-most camp of the entire expedition - disappointing because it was here that they realized that the Marias River they had been tracing did not reach the 50th parallel, the boundary of the Louisiana Purchase.
		Such weather is so common, in fact, that the pass was not actually discovered (by non-Indians) until 1889 by the Great Northern Railroad seeking a navigable route from Minneapolis to the west coast.
		Far from blazing the best path across the continent, the Corps of Discovery may have forged the most difficult: witness the fact that no subsequent overland travelers in the ensuing years of westward expansion chose to follow in the their footsteps.

		The Tiber Dam on the Marias River, Montana, moderates downstream flows by trapping spring flood flows and augmenting flows at other times.
		Descriptive analyses of riparian cottonwoods and quantitative analyses of streamflow patterns were conducted to investigate the factors that influence the regeneration of riparian cottonwoods.
		With reduced seedling establishment, the downstream forests may be reliant on clonal regeneration that may be insufficient to compensate for ongoing mortality and would probably disfavor P. deltoides since that species demonstrates little root suckering.
