The White Castles

Description

On July 26 Maximilian again commented in his journal that along the left bank of the river he observed "the formation mentioned yesterday, which is similar to the mountain castles that we called today the White Castles. Although a closer look takes away something of the resemblance, we can still regard this strange mountain top as masonry." The formation lies in an area of the Missouri River basin now inundated by the waters above Fort Peck Dam in eastern Montana.
