Description
Madison River between Quake Lake and Hegben Dam in eastern Montana. The Madison River is a headwater tributary of the Missouri River, 183 miles long, in Wyoming and Montana. Its confluence with the Jefferson and Gallatin rivers near Three Forks, Montana form the Missouri River. The Madison rises in Park County in northwestern Wyoming at the confluence of the Firehole and Gibbon rivers, a location known as Madison Junction in Yellowstone National Park. The river was named in July 1805 by Meriwether Lewis at Three Forks, after U.S. Secretary of State James Madison.
