About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this high-altitude topography, where the hydrological apex of the continent is marked at Triple Divide Peak. This rare geographic point sends runoff toward the Pacific via Nyack Creek, the Atlantic via Atlantic Creek, and the Arctic drainage through Hudson Bay Creek. The landscape is defined by its massive vertical relief, stretching from the ice of Red Eagle Glacier to the towering summit of Mt Stimson.

A network of mountain passes and hiking routes facilitates travel through the wilderness, most notably the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which skirts the eastern ridges. Historic passage points like Red Eagle Pass, Cut Bank Pass, and Triple Divide Pass highlight the traditional routes through the Lewis Range. The map also captures several high alpine water bodies, including Medicine Grizzly Lake and the various tributaries of Stimson Creek and Pinchot Creek that carve through the steep glacial valleys.
