1968 Map of Mount Carter

About this map

Livingstone Range peaks dominate this 1968 survey of the high mountain terrain along the international boundary between the United States and Canada. The map illustrates a complex glacial landscape where the Continental Divide winds between Mount Carter and Mount Custer, separating the waters of the Pacific and Arctic drainages. Extensive ice fields including Boulder Glacier, Dixon Glacier, and the Carter Glaciers are shown in their late-1960s state, feeding alpine water bodies like Lake Nooney and Pocket Lake. This environment is characterized by sharp relief and isolated backcountry infrastructure, featuring high-altitude routes like Boulder Pass and Brown Pass. The convergence of Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park at the border highlights the transboundary nature of this wilderness area, with primitive trails providing the only access to landmarks such as Hole-in-the-Wall and The Sentinel.
