1904 Map of Mount Aix

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

Mount Aix stands as the central landmark in this 1904 survey of the central Cascades, revealing a high-altitude landscape defined by early resource extraction and transit corridors. The Pierce Mine near Bear Gap indicates the period's mineral prospecting, while isolated outposts like the Lake House at Bumping Lake and Russell Ranch suggest the sparse, seasonal human presence in these high valleys. This area served as a critical crossing point between Yakima, Pierce, and Lewis counties, with primitive routes traversing Carlton Pass, Cowlitz Pass, and White Pass long before modern highway development. The map also records the early infrastructure of the region's wilderness, such as the Rimrock Trail and the remote Mc Allister Meadows, capturing a moment when the high country was primarily the domain of miners, ranchers, and early forest surveyors.
