+ About this map
Glacier National Park spans over a million acres along the northern spine of the Rocky Mountains in Montana, a landscape carved by the same forces that gave it its name. Ancient glaciers sculpted the peaks into sharp aretes, carved cirques into the mountainsides, and gouged the deep U-shaped valleys that now hold long, narrow lakes. The park straddles the Continental Divide, sending water to the Pacific, the Atlantic, and Hudson Bay, one of the only places on the continent where three ocean drainages meet.
This map reveals the park’s extraordinary topographic density. The contour lines compress along the knife-edge ridgelines of the Garden Wall and the steep faces below peaks like Mount Cleveland, the park’s highest at 10,052 feet. They spread apart across the broad valley floors where the glacial lakes McDonald, St. Mary, and Two Medicine stretch for miles. It is a landscape where the vertical and horizontal exist in constant, dramatic tension.
