About this map

Glacier National Park defines this corner of Flathead County, dominated by the towering spire of Mt Saint Nicholas. This 2014 survey captures a landscape shaped by ice and elevation, featuring the Lupfer Glacier and high-altitude basins like Marthas Basin and Dunwoody Basin. A complex network of drainages, including Coal Cr and Muir Cr, flow through these glaciated valleys.

Remote alpine lakes are scattered throughout the terrain, from the Nyack Lakes in the northeast to the centrally located Buffalo Woman Lake and Beaver Woman Lake. The topographic detail highlights prominent peaks such as Mt Pinchot, Mt Phillips, and Battlement Mtn, which frame the deep cirques and passes like Surprise Pass. This map offers a precise view of the park's wilderness before further modern environmental shifts, documenting the location of perennial snowfields and glacial features like the Rotunda Cirque.
