About this map

The high alpine environment of the Lewis Range dominates this borderland survey, centered on the towering presence of Mount Cleveland. Straddling the boundary between the United States and Canada, the landscape is defined by its glacial activity and dramatic vertical relief. Significant ice masses like the Miche Wabun Glacier and Whitecrow Glacier feed a network of high-altitude drainages, including the North Fork Belly River and Whitecrow Creek.

Evidence of traditional backcountry routes and early wilderness management appears at the Mokowanis Shelter Cabin and the crossing at Stoney Indian Pass. The hydrology of the region is particularly dense, with chains of lakes such as Cosley Lake, Glenns Lake, and Mokowanis Lake filling deep glacial basins. Landmarks like Miche Wabun Falls and White Quiver Falls mark the steep transitions between these water bodies, reflecting the drainage patterns that flow toward the Wilson Range and Sarcee Mountain in the north.
