About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this high-altitude survey along the international boundary between the United States and Canada. The landscape is defined by the massive peaks of the Livingston Range, where numerous glaciers continue to shape the terrain. Active ice fields including the Hudson Glacier, Thunderbird Glacier, and Weasel Collar Glacier are clustered around prominent summits like Mt Carter and Mt Custer.

Remote backcountry access is traced through the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds past Hole-in-the-Wall CG and over Brown Pass. The complex hydrology of the Continental Divide is evident in the drainage patterns of Kintla Cr and Bowman Cr, which feed alpine basins like Lake Wurdeman and Pocket Lake. This map captures a pristine wilderness environment at the northern edge of Montana, emphasizing the dramatic vertical relief of features such as The Hawksbill and The Sentinel.
