2024 Map of Babb

About this map

Glacier National Park defines the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the high terrain of Boulder Ridge and Swiftcurrent Ridge drops toward the expansive waters of Lower Saint Mary Lake. The community of Babb serves as a northern hub, situated near the head of the Saint Mary Canal and the winding Saint Mary River. This area is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts and narrow valleys carved by Swiftcurrent Creek and Boulder Creek, which feed into the primary lake system. Notable landmarks such as Devils Slide, Thunderbird Island, and Naoi Point emphasize the varied topography. In the south, the settlement of St. Mary sits at a critical junction near where Wild Creek enters the lake, connected by local routes like W Shore Rd and Many Glacier Rd. The map illustrates the complex intersection of federal parkland, water management infrastructure, and the rugged landscape of the eastern Rocky Mountain front.
