2014 Map of Blacktail

About this map

Theodore Roosevelt Pass serves as a critical corridor through the high peaks of the Continental Divide, marking the boundary between Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the transportation artery of US Hwy 2 as it winds alongside Bear Cr, connecting the small mountain settlements of Blacktail and Snowslip. The topography is defined by significant summits including Brave Dog Mtn, Little Dog Mtn, and Sheep Mtn, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the McCartysville Flats. The proximity of water sources like Ole Lake and Giefer Cr to the historic pass highlights the enduring importance of this passage for both natural drainage and human transit across the northern Rocky Mountains.
