2024 Map of Summit

About this map

Marias Pass serves as the central high-altitude gateway through the Continental Divide, anchoring this survey of the boundary between Glacier National Park, Lewis & Clark National Forest, and Flathead National Forest. The small settlement of Summit sits at this critical crossing point, where the landscape transitions into the steep John F Stevens Canyon to the west. This area is a significant corridor for both modern transit and historical exploration, featuring the Theodore Roosevelt Pass and the Lewis and Clark Range. The map reveals a dense network of wilderness trails, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl and the Firebrand Pass Trl, which navigate a complex terrain of named peaks such as Skeleton Mtn and False Summit. Water features like Three Bears Lake and the South Fork Two Medicine River illustrate the hydrological importance of this divide.
