About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by high peaks and an intricate network of alpine lakes. The geography is anchored by the northern reaches of Lake Mc Donald and the long, glacially carved basin of Trout Lake. Human presence is minimal, noted only by remote outposts such as Paul Bunyans Cabin and a Patrol Cabin near the headwaters of Camas Creek.

Large meadows like Christensen Meadows, Rogers Meadow, and Camas Meadow break the forested slopes of Camas Ridge and Howe Ridge. The map details a high-elevation environment where the Livingstone Range and summits like Stanton Mountain rise above Lake Evangeline and the Dutch Lakes. Travel through this backcountry is preserved in the alignments of the West Lakes Trail and the early path of Glacier Route One along the lake shore.
