About this map

Sperry Chalets and the surrounding high-altitude terrain define this 2017 survey of the heart of Glacier National Park. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of glacial features and water systems, including the headwaters of Lincoln Creek and Harrison Creek. Notable elevations such as Mt Brown and Lincoln Peak overlook a series of alpine basins containing Snyder Lake, Akaigan Lake, and Lake Ellen Wilson.

A network of backcountry routes, including the prominent trail through Gunsight Pass, connects the various peaks and valleys. Significant landmarks for navigators and hikers, such as Crystal Ford and the tiered cascades of Beaver Medicine Falls and Feather Woman Falls, are documented with precision. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns from the Sperry Glacier and the steep ridges that separate the primary lake basins.
