About this map

Goose Prairie sits at the heart of this landscape, serving as a focal point for the recreational and natural features within the Snoqualmie National Forest during the late 1980s. The area is defined by the convergence of the American River and the Bumping River, which carve through terrain marked by Norse Peak and the Fifes Peaks. This geography dictates the placement of essential forest infrastructure, from the Hells Crossing Campground to the remote Camp Fife.

Evidence of the region's human and natural history is preserved through labels for Graves near the riverbanks and geological landmarks like Union Creek Falls. The map details a network of footbridges and trails providing access to the William O Douglas Wilderness and Norse Peak Wilderness. These administrative boundaries reflect a period of intensive land management and conservation effort in the Yakima County high country.
