2011 Map of Mount Stimson

About this map

Mount Stimson anchors this high-elevation landscape in Flathead County, illustrating a complex hydrological and geological system at the start of the 21st century. The map centers on the Continental Divide, most notably at Triple Divide Peak, where drainage separates into three distinct oceanic basins. This unique drainage pattern is further defined by Atlantic Creek flowing east and the headwaters of Nyack Creek and Pacific Creek moving toward the west. Glacial remnants like Red Eagle Glacier feed high-mountain waters such as Medicine Grizzly Lake. High-altitude traversals are documented through Red Eagle Pass and Triple Divide Pass, connecting peaks like Almost-a-Dog Mountain and Split Mountain. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the primitive state of this mountain wilderness, dominated by named ridges and the steep drainages of Stimson Creek and Hudson Bay Creek.
