About this map

Mt Stimson dominates this high-altitude section of Glacier National Park, serving as a central anchor for a landscape defined by sharp divides and active glacial remnants. This area features the remarkable Triple Divide Peak, a unique hydrologic apex where water can flow toward the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, or Hudson Bay. The map illustrates the complex drainage systems that radiate from these heights, including Red Eagle Cr and Nyack Cr.

Glacial activity is evident through the presence of the Logan Glacier and Red Eagle Glacier, which have carved deep basins like the one holding Medicine Grizzly Lake. The terrain is marked by formidable crossings such as Triple Divide Pass and Red Eagle Pass, highlighting the traditional routes used to navigate these mountain barriers. From Almost-a-Dog Mtn to Razoredge Mtn, the nomenclature reflects the early survey and exploration of this protected wilderness.
