1994 Map of Kintla Lake

About this map

Glacier National Park defines this northern borderland, where the Boundary Mountains mark the international line between the Canada United States frontier. The landscape is dominated by the deep waters of Kintla Lake, which is fed by Kintla Creek and sheltered between the high elevations of Starvation Ridge and Parke Ridge. This mid-1990s survey by the U.S. Forest Service documents the remote character of the backcountry near the British Columbia and Montana border. Human presence is sparse, represented by the Patrol Cabin on the lake's western shore and the Boulder Pass Trail winding through the terrain. The southwestern corner of the sheet follows the North Fork Flathead River, which serves as a natural boundary for the park and a primary drainage for local tributaries like Starvation Creek and Parke Creek.
