1962 Map of Bumping Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Bumping Lake serves as the central anchor for this 1962 topographic survey of the Washington Cascades, where the Snoqualmie National Forest meets the eastern boundary of Mt. Rainier Nat. Park. The map documents a rugged landscape defined by high alpine peaks like Fifes Peaks and Mount Aix, punctuated by numerous high-altitude basins and lakes. Human activity is largely centered around recreational access and early mineral extraction, with several unnamed Mines and the Copper City (Site) located in the southern reaches. The settlement of Goose Prairie near the lake’s eastern shore stands as a rare outpost of habitation in a territory otherwise dominated by an extensive network of trails, such as the Cascade Crest Trail and American Ridge Trail. This survey captures the region's wilderness character just before the mid-century expansion of outdoor recreation infrastructure, noting established sites like Lodgepole Campground and Bumping Crossing Campground.
