2024 Map of Stanton Lake

About this map

The Middle Fork Flathead River carves a deep valley through this corner of the Rockies, defining the rugged geography within Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest. This modern survey details the protected landscape of the Great Bear Wilderness, where drainage networks like Coal Creek and Stanton Creek feed into the main river channel. The topography is dominated by massive peaks including Threesuns Mtn, Threetops Mtn, and Double Mtn, providing a clear view of the elevation changes across Grant Ridge. A primary corridor for movement through these mountains is found at Theodore Roosevelt Pass, which leads into the steep-walled John F Stevens Canyon. Researchers can trace old backcountry routes such as the Nyack Creek Trl and South Boundary Trl, which connect the high ridges to the waters of Stanton Lake.
