About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this high-altitude landscape along the international boundary between Canada and the United States. The terrain is defined by massive peaks and glacial basins, with Gable Mountain and Sentinel Mountain overlooking a network of alpine lakes and rivers. The Belly River valley serves as a primary corridor for movement through the backcountry, anchored by the Belly Ranger Station.

Remote trails, including a segment of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, navigate through technical passes like Gable Pass and Red Gap Pass. The map details the complex drainage systems of the Mokowanis River and Otatso Creek, feeding into prominent water bodies such as Elizabeth Lake and Cosley Lake. These features highlight a wilderness preserved for its natural character, where the Chief Mountain Highway provides the only significant vehicular access in the northeast corner.
