About this map

Glacier National Park and the Great Bear Wilderness converge along the corridor of the Middle Fork Flathead River, where the Burlington Northern railroad winds through the steep topography. This 1990s revision shows the critical transportation and boundary intersection at Nimrod and John Stevens, where the rail line follows the narrow floor of Bear Canyon beneath the heights of Running Rabbit Mountain.

The landscape is defined by its protected status and water systems, including the Wild and Scenic River Boundary that parallels the river. High-elevation features like Spruce Lake, Tranquil Basin, and Theodore Roosevelt Pass illustrate the remote character of this mountain pass environment. The presence of smaller named drainages such as Sheep Creek and Charlie Creek provides essential detail for those studying the hydrology of the Flathead National Forest and its wilderness buffers.
