About this map

Nimrod sits at a critical mountain juncture where Us HWY 2 threads through John F Stevens Canyon, following the path carved by the Middle Fork Flathead River. This 2014 survey documents the boundary between Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest, marked by Theodore Roosevelt Pass. The landscape is defined by significant elevations, including Running Rabbit Mtn and Java Mtn, which overlook a network of alpine drainages such as Bear Cr and Java Cr.

Away from the highway corridor, the map reveals isolated backcountry features like Spruce Lake and Spruce Park. The presence of the Spruce Lookout highlights the historical and ongoing importance of fire observation in this heavily timbered region. High basins like Tranquil Basin and peaks such as Vinegar Mtn illustrate the transition from river valley to high alpine terrain, providing a clear record of the area's complex topography and federal land divisions.
