About this map

The Livingston Range dominates this portion of Glacier National Park, where the high alpine topography includes several significant glaciers and remote lakes. High peaks like Vulture Peak and Logging Mtn stand as central landmarks above the deep valleys carved by Quartz Lake and Logging Lake. This landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, where features such as the Carnelian Cliff and Cerulean Ridge overlook the paths of Rainbow Cr and Logging Cr.

The map details a network of ice and water, from the Two Ocean Glacier and Rainbow Glacier to smaller catchments like Gyrfalcon Lake and Grace Lake. This 2017 survey provides a precise view of the park's wilderness interior, marking the boundary between Glacier and Flathead counties. It serves as a clear record of the modern state of the Carter Glaciers and Vulture Glacier, situated within the broader context of the Livingston Range.
