About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border between Flathead and Glacier counties. The topography is defined by the Livingston Range, where massive peaks and remnant ice fields like Mt Carter, Mt Custer, and the Rainbow Glacier crown the Continental Divide. This area is a critical hydrological source, with glacial meltwater feeding numerous high-mountain basins, including Lake Wurdeman and Lake Nooney.

Transit through this wilderness is restricted to historic footpaths over dramatic saddles such as Boulder Pass, Brown Pass, and Jefferson Pass. Notable landmarks like The Hawksbill and The Sentinel provide distinct navigational points for those traversing the heights near Hole-in-the-Wall. Significant water features, including Thunderbird Falls and the headwaters of Bowman Creek, illustrate the complex drainage patterns that flow from these ancient geological formations toward the United States and Canada border.
