2014 Map of Essex
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
The mountain settlement of Essex serves as a focal point along the western boundary of Glacier National Park, situated near the Middle Fork Flathead River. This 2014 survey captures the dramatic topography where the Flathead National Forest meets the park's edge. The landscape is defined by massive peaks including Scalplock Mtn, Running Rabbit Mtn, and Snowslip Mtn, carved by steep drainages like Muir Cr and Snowslide Gulch. Transportation through this challenging terrain is concentrated along the narrow corridor of US Hwy 2 as it winds through John F Stevens Canyon. The passage over the continental divide is marked by Theodore Roosevelt Pass, reflecting the historical importance of this route for both rail and road travel across the northern Rockies.
