HISTORICAL: The first white men to this area arrived over 200 years ago. On July 22-26, 1806, Capt. Meriwether Lewis and three companions, George Drewyer, Joseph Fields and Reuben Fields camped for three days along Cut Bank Creek to the east of the Willow Creek Acreage. Lewis called this Camp Disappointment, the northernmost campsite of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. They were exploring the headwaters of the Marias River, hoping to be able to report to President Jefferson the headwaters arose north of 49th parallel, thus extending the boundaries of the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase. Lewis could see from here that the river arose to the west rather than to the north, as he had hoped. Disheartened by this discovery, the cold rainy weather and shortage of game Lewis named this farthest point north Camp Disappointment.
