2024 Map of Mount Saint Nicholas

About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this high-altitude landscape, centered on the dramatic horn of Mt Saint Nicholas. The terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes and glacial landforms, including the deep bowl of Rotunda Cirque and the high waters of Buffalo Woman Lake. This modern digital survey documents a primitive wilderness area where travel is limited to established paths like the Coal Creek Trl and Fielding Trl. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of the Continental Divide's western slopes, with headwaters such as Pinchot Creek and Muir Creek carving through narrow basins. Peaks like Mt Phillips and Wolftail Mtn stand as significant landmarks for backcountry navigation, while Marthas Basin provides a rare level opening among the steep ridges.
