2000 Map of Bumping Lake

About this map

Bumping Lake and its surrounding wilderness define this high-altitude landscape within the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior network of creeks and ridges, including American Ridge and Nelson Ridge, that separate deep basins like Big Basin and Carmelita Basin. Of particular interest to local historians is the site of Copper City along Deep Creek, a remnant of the region's mining heritage located near a documented Mine. This survey, revised at the turn of the millennium, shows the infrastructure supporting the area's transition into a recreational hub, featuring the Bumping Lake Campground, various Docks, and a Boat Launch along the northern shoreline. The southern reaches are dominated by the William O Douglas Wilderness, where high peaks such as Bismarck Peak and Mt Aix overlook the headwaters of Rattlesnake Creek.
