Three Forks earns its name at the spot just north of town where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers come together to form the Missouri, a confluence Lewis and Clark camped at and named more than two centuries back. Headwaters Transport hauls loads across that same open country, and in winter the trucks that haul freight turn to hauling snow instead, clearing driveways and lots from one river bottom to the next. Wind moves fast and unbroken across the flats near the confluence, with almost nothing between the three river valleys to slow it down, so drifts can build against a house or a fence line within an hour of a storm passing. Getting equipment out to a rural driveway near the Headwaters park or a lot along the edge of town is the same kind of work as any haul — get there, load it, get it clear. Somewhere just out of sight, three rivers are becoming one, and a driveway cleared all the way to the county road is a small, ordinary version of the same idea — getting things to where they need to go.
