2017 Map of Mount Jackson

About this map

Glacier National Park contains some of the most dramatic high-altitude features of the Continental Divide, shown here along the boundary of Glacier and Flathead counties. The landscape is dominated by massive peaks and glacial remnants, including Mt Jackson, Mt Logan, and Blackfoot Mtn. This 2017 survey documents the extent of the Blackfoot Glacier, Jackson Glacier, and Logan Glacier during a period of intense focus on these shrinking ice masses. The drainage patterns are defined by the Saint Mary River and numerous high-mountain creeks like Virginia Cr and Nyack Creek. For those interested in the wilderness corridors of the northern Rockies, the map provides precise locations for Gunsight Pass and secluded water bodies like Lake Ellen Wilson and Harrison Lake. This record of the high backcountry serves as a detailed topographical account of one of North America's most protected alpine environments.
