About this map

Goose Prairie serves as the central settlement hub within this high-elevation landscape, situated at the confluence of the Bumping River and several mountain drainages. The area is defined by its inclusion in significant protected lands, including the Norse Peak Wilderness and the William O Douglas Wilderness within the Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a complex network of recreational and historic paths, such as the Richmond Mine Trl and the Goose Prairie Trl, reflecting a history of both resource extraction and backcountry exploration.

Water features dominate the terrain, from the large expanse of Bumping Lake to the dramatic Union Creek Falls. The drainage patterns of Survey Creek, Miner Creek, and Thunder Creek illustrate the watershed's rugged character, while named summits like Fifes Peaks and Goat Peak provide prominent landmarks. The presence of the Chinook Pass Highway provides the primary corridor through these valleys, linking the isolated pockets of activity to the broader region.
