1962 Map of Bumping Lake

About this map

Goose Prairie serves as a central hub in this high-altitude landscape where the Bumping River meets the expansive Bumping Lake reservoir. The map documents a transition in land use, showing both the remnants of mining history at Copper City and the development of recreational infrastructure within the Snoqualmie National Forest. To the west, the Cascade Crest Trail follows the high ridges along the border of Mount Rainier National Park, passing notable landmarks like Pickhandle Point and Sourdough Gap. The engineering of the watershed is evidenced by the Bumping Lake Dam and various hydrological installations, including a Gaging Station and intake, while the numerous campgrounds like Lodgepole Campground and Camp Fife reflect the area's mid-century role as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts and youth organizations.
