Remarkable Elevations on the Banks of the Missouri

Description

On August 7 Maximilian's party continued upriver toward Kipps Rapids and other, later-named landmarks such as the Dike and LaBarge Rock, both pictured by Bodmer on the same watercolor sheet. Located approximately six miles above Citadel Rock, LaBarge Rock was named for Joseph LaBarge, a Missouri riverboat captain who came into the region after Bodmer's time. Bodmer's depiction of this landmark is the lower of the two views on this sheet.
