2014 Map of Kintla Lake

About this map

Glacier National Park and the Flathead Nat For meet along this remote stretch of the Montana-British Columbia border. The landscape is dominated by the massive basin of Kintla Lake, which sits tucked between Starvation Ridge to the west and Parke Ridge to the east. This 2014 survey documents a complex hydrological network where the North Fork Flathead River serves as a primary drainage for high-altitude tributaries. Water flows from the Boundary Mountains down through steep drainages including Kishenehn Creek, Kintla Cr, and Ford Cr. The map's detail reveals the intersection of strictly protected wilderness and national forest lands, providing a clear look at the topography of the Continental Divide's western slopes before they transition into the lower river valleys.
