2017 Map of Mount Stimson

About this map

Mt Stimson dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, marking a high point in the protected wilderness of Glacier National Park. The landscape is defined by the continental hydrological divide, most notably at Triple Divide Peak, where water flows toward the Pacific, Atlantic, and Hudson Bay. This 2017 study illustrates the complex drainage systems that radiate from these summits, including Red Eagle Creek and Nyack Creek, which are fed by high-altitude features like the Red Eagle Glacier. The terrain is characterized by a network of steep ridgelines and passes, such as Cut Bank Pass and Triple Divide Pass, which connect various peaks including Almost-a-Dog Mountain and Razoredge Mountain. Along the eastern boundary, the map tracks the divide between Glacier and Flathead counties, providing a clear record of the intersection between political boundaries and the physical geography of the American Rockies.
