2017 Map of Kintla Lake OE N

About this map

Kishinena Creek winds through this high-altitude landscape along the international border, marking the transition between the northern reach of Glacier National Park and the Canadian wilderness. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey focuses on the complex drainage patterns of the Flathead County backcountry, where numerous tributaries feed into larger systems. The map traces the paths of Langemarck Brook and Ruby Cr as they descend through the terrain. In the southern portion of the sheet, the convergence of Starvation Cr and Nettie Cr illustrates the primitive, undeveloped character of this borderland. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the remote nature of the region, which remains primarily defined by its hydrological features and park status.
