About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this mountainous landscape, defined by high-elevation peaks and glacial water systems. The large expanse of Lake Sherburne sits at the center of the terrain, fed by Swiftcurrent Creek and surrounded by steep ridges including Swiftcurrent Ridge. The geography is shaped by water movement from Kennedy Creek in the north to Boulder Creek in the south, while summits like Wynn Mtn and East Flattop Mtn provide significant vertical relief.

Access through this protected wilderness is documented via the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl and the Sherburne Cutoff Trl. Motorists are guided along Many Glacier Road, which navigates the northern shore of the lake and includes the notably named Cassidy Curve. The map illustrates a landscape where modern infrastructure is limited to specific corridors, preserving the alpine character of the backcountry and smaller bodies of water like Poia Lake and Swiftcurrent Ridge Lake.
