Missouri River landscape

Description

Bodmer made several studies in the general vicinity of the Niobrara. This watercolor dated May, 1833 may be one of these, but the precise location of the view is not known. Because of modern water impoundments above and below the mouth of the Niobrara, the original aspect of the Missouri throughout this area has greatly changed since Bodmer's day. Thus identifying landmarks noted by Bodmer is virtually impossible.
