About this map

Glacier National Park defines this landscape along the international border between Montana and British Columbia. The high-altitude terrain is marked by significant ice masses including Harris Glacier, Agassiz Glacier, Kintla Glacier, and Baby Glacier. These frozen features feed a complex network of alpine waters, from the large Upper Kintla Lake and Bowman Lake to smaller basins like Akokala Lake and Numa Lake.

Transit through these vertical elevations is dominated by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which skirts the eastern shore of Kintla Lake before climbing toward Boulder Pass. The topography is anchored by prominent summits such as Kintla Peak, Kinnerly Peak, and Mt Peabody. This survey captures the hydrologic patterns of Akokala Cr and N Fork Kintla Cr as they flow through the Boundary Mountains, providing a detailed view of the drainage systems and ridgelines that define the Continental Divide region.
