About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this terrain, revealing a network of high-elevation peaks and glacial water bodies along the Continental Divide. The landscape is defined by massive formations such as Sinopah Mtn, Rising Wolf Mtn, and the namesake Mt Rockwell, which stand above deep basins and alpine lakes. A complex hydrological system flows from the heights, including Upper Two Medicine Lake and the larger Two Medicine Lake, connected by Two Medicine Cr and punctuated by Rockwell Falls.

Transport through this protected wilderness is limited to foot travel over demanding gaps like Dawson Pass and Two Medicine Pass. These routes connect the eastern slopes with the headwaters of Nyack Cr and Park Cr to the west. Landmarks such as Pumpelly Pillar and Painted Tepee Peak provide distinct navigational points for backcountry travelers, while the boundaries between Glacier Co and Flathead Co follow the high ridgelines that separate these major watersheds.
