1995 Map of Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Marias Pass serves as the central focal point of this 1990s-era mountain survey, marking a significant breach in the Continental Divide where the Burlington Northern railroad and the Theodore Roosevelt Pass highway traverse the high terrain. The small settlement of Summit is positioned at this critical junction, representing the high point of the transcontinental rail line through the northern Rockies. The landscape is a complex intersection of administrative and natural boundaries, where Glacier National Park meets the Lewis and Clark National Forest and Flathead National Forest. To the south, the Great Bear Wilderness protects the headwaters of Bear Creek and Skyland Creek, while the north is defined by the peaks of Skeleton Mountain and Summit Mountain. This map documents a landscape defined by its role as a transportation corridor and a rugged wilderness buffer between Montana's famous national park and adjacent forest lands.
