About this map

The Continental Divide creates a massive physical boundary across this landscape, separating the high peaks of Glacier National Park from the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. This terrain is defined by dramatic water features and glacial geology, ranging from the cascades at Trick Falls and Appistoki Falls to the deep basins of Two Medicine Lake and Lower Two Medicine Lake.

Infrastructure reflects the region's role as a gateway for both tourism and transcontinental transport. The transition from the Great Northern Railroad to the Burlington Northern Railroad is visible here, alongside the traces of an Old Railroad Grade near Lubec Lake. Remote hiking routes like the Firebrand Pass Trail and Autumn Creek Trail connect various summits, including Bison Mountain and Squaw Mountain, providing a detailed view of the high-country access points as they existed in the late 1960s.
