1968 Map of Kintla Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Glacial ice and high-altitude terrain define this high country region of Glacier National Park along the international border. The landscape is dominated by the Boundary Mountains and the massive Kintla Peak, which stands as a central landmark above the Kintla Glacier. The drainage system is anchored by Upper Kintla Lake and Bowman Lake, with numerous smaller bodies like Numa Lake and Akokala Lake fed by melting ice from the Harris Glacier and Agassiz Glacier. Human presence is minimal, limited to backcountry infrastructure such as the Patrol Cabin near Kintla Lake and a Lookout on Numa Ridge. Movement through this wilderness relies on established routes like the Boulder Pass Trail and West Lakes Trail, which connect campsites and high-mountain passes across the British Columbia-Montana line.
