Judith River
The Judith River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 124 mi (200 km) long, in central Montana and the United States. It rises in the Little Belt Mountains and flows northeast past Utica and Hobson. It is joined by Dry Well Creek in northern Fergus County, and joins the Missouri in the White Cliffs Area approximately 18 mi (29 km) northwest of Winifred.
The river gives its name to the Judith River Group of the late Cretaceous, a notable area for excavation of dinosaur fossils that stretches from Montana into southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. The river was named by William Clark for Julia "Judith" Hancock, who he would later marry.
