1968 Map of Cut Bank Pass

About this map

Glacier National Park reveals its high-altitude hydrologic character in this late-1960s survey, dominated by the meeting of the Continental Divide and the Triple Divide. This unique geography sends water toward three different oceans, a fact marked by the surrounding peaks like Medicine Grizzly Peak and McClintock Peak. The landscape is a network of glacial basins holding alpine water bodies such as Oldman Lake, Medicine Owl Lake, and the poetically named Lake of the Seven Winds.
