Beaverhead Rock Name Dispute Prompts County Split
A Montana reminiscence contrasts Beaverhead rock with Point of Rocks, arguing the eastern rock near Barretts deserves the Beaverhead name after county-line changes placed the Point of Rocks in Madison County. The piece recalls Sacagawea guided Clark here in 1805 and urges recognizing Beaverhead rock’s rightful designation.
