2017 Map of Babb

About this map

Glacier National Park dominates the western half of this landscape, where the high terrain of Swiftcurrent Ridge and Boulder Ridge drops sharply toward the valley below. At the heart of the region, the settlement of Babb serves as a junction near the Saint Mary River and the northern tip of Lower Saint Mary Lake. This 2017 survey illustrates a complex water management and transportation network, including the Saint Mary Canal and a series of local routes like Duck Lake Rd and W Shore Rd. Notable topographic landmarks such as Devils Slide and Beaver Slide suggest a dynamic environment of steep slopes and glacial history, while Thunderbird Island sits prominently within the lake's waters. The inclusion of the Babb Airport highlights the area's role as a modern gateway to the surrounding wilderness.
