1968 Map of Mount Stimson

About this map

The high peaks of Glacier National Park dominate this 1968 field-checked survey, centering on the massive Mount Stimson and the intersection of Flathead and Glacier counties. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with the Continental Divide snaking between summits like Norris Mountain and Triple Divide Peak. This topographical record captures the extent of the Logan Glacier and Red Eagle Glacier before modern retreats, along with the primitive transportation network of the era. Human presence is limited to the isolated Patrol Cabin and a series of high-altitude paths, including the Triple Divide Trail and Pitamakan Pass Trail, which follow the natural drainages of Nyack Creek and Pacific Creek. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology of the divide, where waters flow toward disparate basins from common ridges.
