About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this terrain, centered on the high peaks and glacial valleys of the Continental Divide. The iconic Going To The Sun Rd carves a path through the center of the sheet, following McDonald Creek past landmarks like Red Rock Point and the McDonald Falls. This corridor serves as the primary artery for movement through the high country, connecting the shores of Lake McDonald to the upper reaches of the park near Packers Roost.

High-altitude topography defines the landscape, featuring the expansive Sperry Glacier and the distinctively named Little Matterhorn and Bearhat Mountain. Evidence of early park management is visible at the Mount Brown Lookout, situated high above Avalanche Lake. From the sheer heights of Glacier Wall to the secluded waters of Mary Baker Lake, the map captures the complex drainage systems and permanent ice fields that have shaped this portion of the Flathead County wilderness.
