2020 Map of Bumping Lake

About this map

Bumping Lake and the rugged high-country terrain of the Snoqualmie National Forest dominate this mountain landscape. The map centers on the deep valleys carved by the Bumping River and Deep Creek, which gather runoff from prominent peaks including Mount Aix and Bismarck Peak. For those researching local industrial history, the map documents the presence of Copper City and the Richmond Mine tucked along the slopes of Miners Ridge. These labels point to a history of extraction and high-altitude settlement that preceded modern recreation. The network of waterways such as Granite Creek and Cedar Cr feeds into the central reservoir, illustrating the complex hydrology of the eastern Cascades. This 2020 survey preserves the names of natural basins like Carmelita Basin and early travel routes such as Fish Lake Way, marking the intersection of resource management and wilderness.
