About this map

Bumping Lake and the high ridges of the Cascades dominate this early 1960s survey of the Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a landscape of high-elevation recreation and resource extraction, where the Goose Prairie post office serves as a hub for the remote area. Evidence of the region's mining history is scattered across the peaks, notably at the Blue Bell Mine and the historical location of Copper City.

Major transit routes through the wilderness include the Cascade Crest Trail and the American Ridge Trail, connecting numerous alpine basins like Pickhandle Basin and Big Crow Basin. The hydrology of the Yakima County backcountry is shown in detail, from the Rainier Fork American River to the Gaging Sta on the Bumping River, illustrating the critical role of these headwaters in the state's water management system.
