2014 Map of Kintla Peak

About this map

Glacier National Park defines this 2014 survey, capturing a high-elevation landscape along the international border in Flathead County. The terrain is characterized by massive summits including Kintla Peak and Kinnerly Peak, which rise above valley floors where deep alpine waters like Kintla Lake and Upper Kintla Lake collect. This era of mapping shows the significant ice masses of the Harris Glacier, Agassiz Glacier, and Kintla Glacier before further modern recession, while smaller remnants like Baby Glacier occupy high-altitude cirques. The drainages of Red-Medicine Bow Creek and Akokala Creek illustrate the intricate hydrological network feeding the larger lakes. To the south, Numa Ridge and Numa Peak separate the Akokala basin from the northern reaches of Bowman Lake, demonstrating the dramatic vertical relief that governs the region's geography.
