About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this high-elevation landscape, where steep ridges and deep glacial basins define the hydrology of Flathead County. The terrain is structured by massive features like Camas Ridge and Howe Ridge, which channel water into a complex system of alpine lakes including Lake Evangeline, Arrow Lake, and Trout Lake. The map details the northern reaches of Lake McDonald, a primary landmark for the region.

Evidence of human presence is sparse in this protected wilderness, marked primarily by isolated sites like Paul Bunyans Cabin and the southern Christensen Meadows. Transport is limited to the North McDonald Road and a network of remote footpaths such as the W Lakes trail. This survey documents the intersection of high peaks like Longfellow Peak and Stanton Mtn with the lush riparian corridors of Camas Creek and Dutch Creek, showing the fundamental wilderness character of the park's interior.
