2014 Map of Mount Cannon

About this map

Glacier National Park defines this landscape, centered on the high peaks and alpine drainages of northwestern Montana. The engineering feat of Going To The Sun Rd winds through the center of the sheet, providing access to the interior wilderness and following the course of McDonald Creek. To the north, Packers Roost sits at the intersection of Packers Roost Rd and the main highway. The map details a dramatic vertical environment, including the massif of Mt Cannon, Heavens Peak, and the Livingston Range. Below these summits, water features such as Avalanche Lake and the northern tip of Lake McDonald are fed by landmarks like McDonald Falls and the Sacred Dancing Cascade. In the southeastern corner, the presence of Sperry Glacier and Upper Snyder Lake illustrates the high-altitude hydrology of the region.
