Decision Point, where the Marias and Missouri Rivers flow together at Loma, Montana, is near the Expedition's camp of June 3 - 12, 1805. The Expedition members called the area their "camp on point deposit" because they cached numerous items here. It was also referred to as the deposit camp and Camp Deposit.
Some 175 years after the Expedition was there, local historians dubbed the hillside area "Decision Point" because here was where the Captains had to decide which river to follow to the western mountains.
