Some local people say that Sacagawea misspoke, that the so-called Beaverhead Rock resembles the animal only by the hyperextension of one's imagination, and that a rocky promontory opposite Rattlesnake Cliffs is the one she must have meant.
It is unlikely that Sacagawea could have been mistaken, and Clark's bearings, taken on August 13, 1805, positively identify Beaverhead Rock as being a few miles south of Twin Bridges.
Furthermore, a mountain man's journal of 1831 also places the well-known landmark near the mouth of the Ruby River, as does Montana pioneer Granville Stuart in about 1865.
