About this map

Bumping Lake and its managed water levels dominate this high-elevation landscape in Yakima County, centered on the Bumping Lake Dam and the recreation facilities that line its northeastern shore. The 2011 survey documents the infrastructure of the Bumping Lake Marina along with the Bumping Dam Campground and Boat Landing Campground, reflecting the area's development for public access. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and high summits, including Nelson Ridge and Mount Aix to the east, while Miners Ridge overlooks the western drainages.

In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, the site of Copper City sits along Deep Creek, providing a specific point of interest for researchers of local mining history and early mountain settlements. The network of forest roads and trails connects this remote location to the drainage systems of Copper Creek and the headwaters of Rattlesnake Creek. High-altitude basins like Carmelita Basin and peaks such as Bismarck Peak illustrate the complex geography of this part of the Cascades.
