2014 Map of Porcupine Ridge

About this map

The international border between Montana and Canada bisects this high-elevation terrain within Glacier National Park. The landscape is dominated by the massive hydrologic systems of Upper Waterton Lake and the northward-flowing Waterton River, which carves through the Waterton Valley. To the west, the Livingston Range provides a formidable barrier, dotted with alpine water bodies such as Carcajou Lake and Shaheeya Lake. The survey illustrates the complex topography of the Porcupine Ridge and the Citadel Peaks, where the drainage patterns of Olson Cr and Valentine Cr reveal the intricate watershed of the Rocky Mountains. This cartographic study documents the pristine wilderness at the start of the 21st century, detailing the precise locations of landmarks like Rainbow Falls and the surrounding summits of Campbell Mtn and Kootenai Peak.
