About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide separates Flathead and Glacier counties. The area is defined by sharp peaks and a high concentration of glacial cirque lakes, including the uniquely named Seven Winds of the Lake and Medicine Grizzly Lake. Travel through the region is marked by historic crossing points like Cut Bank Pass and Pitamakan Pass, which connect the drainages of Atlantic Cr and the Dry Fork.

The map reveals a transition between water systems, where N Fork Cut Bank Cr flows eastward from the mountains. Dramatic peaks such as Eagle Plume Mtn, Bad Marriage Mtn, and Medicine Owl Peak tower over alpine basins. This 2014 survey serves as a modern record of these protected lands, tracing the established routes and naming the diverse water bodies like Morning Star Lake and Oldman Lake that characterize the park's interior.
