1902 Map of Mount Aix

About this map

Goose Prairie and the upper reaches of the American River dominate this early century survey of the eastern slopes of the Cascades. At a time when much of the high country was still being traversed primarily by pack trails, the map documents the nascent development of the region, including the isolated Lake House near the shores of Bumping Lake. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where the Naches River and Bumping River carve through high ridges like Bethel Ridge. Near the western boundary, the survey captures the edge of Mt. Rainier National Park, marking a transition from active resource extraction, such as Fife's Mine, to protected wilderness. Key mountain gaps like Carlton Pass, Cowlitz Pass, and White Pass are clearly delineated, representing the critical passage points for early travelers moving between the Yakima and Cowlitz valleys.
