About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this high-altitude landscape along the divide of Glacier and Flathead counties. The map serves as a detailed record of the park's massive ice fields, including the Sperry Glacier, Jackson Glacier, and Blackfoot Glacier, which feed the headwaters of the Saint Mary River and several creek systems. The survey documents a network of narrow drainage basins such as Harrison Cr, Nyack Cr, and Thompson Cr, all carved between towering peaks like Mt Jackson and Blackfoot Mtn.

Glacial movement and recession can be studied through the proximity of smaller remnants like Pumpkin Glacier and Pumpelly Glacier. Traditional routes across the Continental Divide are represented by Gunsight Pass, situated near Gunsight Lake. This record of the 2014 alpine environment provides critical data for researchers tracking the hydrological change and topographical shifting of these mountain formations and their associated waterfalls, such as Sikika Falls.
