2017 Map of Goose Prairie

About this map

Goose Prairie sits at the convergence of the Bumping River and its tributary creeks in this 2017 study of the Snoqualmie National Forest. The landscape is dominated by high-elevation landforms, including the sharp points of Fifes Peaks and the long expanse of American Ridge. Human activity is primarily limited to recreational and industrial markers, such as the Pleasant Valley Loop road and the Richmond Mine tucked near the southern boundary. Water features are abundant, from the Union Creek Falls to the high-country basins of Crow Cr Lake and Sheepherder Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the larger river systems of Yakima County, highlighting the way geological features like Goat Peak and Nile Ridge dictate the paths of early trails like Crow Lake Way.
