2011 Map of Goose Prairie

About this map

Goose Prairie and the mountain settlement of Pleasant Valley sit at the center of this mountain landscape, where the American River and Bumping River carve through the high terrain of Yakima County. This 2011 survey documents a region defined by its recreational infrastructure and natural landmarks, including Camp Fife and several designated sites like the Hells Crossing Campground and Pleasant Valley Campground. The geography is dominated by significant elevations such as Fifes Peaks to the north and the prominent American Ridge to the south. Hikers and researchers can trace numerous water features including Union Creek Falls, Pleasant Valley Lake, and high-altitude basins like Sheepherder Lake. The map details the network of Forest Service routes and local roads, such as Route 1800 and Route 391, which provide access to these remote valleys and peaks during the early 21st century.
