1968 Map of Mount Stimson

About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this topography, defined by the hydrological apex of the Continental Divide. At Triple Divide Peak, water paths diverge toward three different oceans, a rare geographic phenomenon that shapes the drainage of Hudson Bay Creek, Nyack Creek, and Pacific Creek. The high-elevation landscape is marked by massive peaks like Mount Stimson and Almost-a-Dog Mountain, alongside the receding bodies of the Red Eagle Glacier and Logan Glacier. Human presence is minimal and functional, represented by the isolated Patrol Cabin and a network of remote footpaths including the Triple Divide Trail and Pitamakan Pass Trail. The map documents the high-country environment of Flathead and Glacier counties before late-century climatic shifts further altered the namesake ice sheets.
